Cost and availability of raw materials is the biggest among a number of challenges that must be addressed if US-made products will be able to meet demand for battery storage in the country.
The EU has today (23 November) launched a grant funding opportunity worth €4 billion (US$4.4 billion) for upstream and downstream clean energy projects, including energy storage.
Battery storage system integrator FlexGen and battery manufacturer Hithium could be supplying each other with complementary technologies for large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.
Gigafactory company Northvolt and sodium-ion battery technology firm Altris have together revealed a battery with an energy density of 160Wh/kg, designed for energy storage systems.
We caught up with Birger Steen, CEO of lithium-ion gigafactory company Freyr Battery, about its recent decision to minimise European investments in light of the Inflation Reduction Act, discussing a potential policy response and its approach to ESS and using conventional technologies.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has earmarked up to US$3.5 billion of new capital for battery manufacturing, a week after European gigafactory company Freyr announced it would only be scaling in the US for now.
The US’ cumulative battery storage installations reached 14.689GW at the end of Q3 2023, with Texas’ ERCOT market contributing 40% of new additions during the quarter.
China-based lithium-ion battery manufacturer Hithium has agreed to supply 1GWh of products to US energy storage project developer Perfect Power through a memorandum of understanding (MOU).
