We catch up with the CEO of Netherlands-headquartered system integrator Alfen to discuss its sodium-ion BESS partnership with CATL and plans for the technology in Europe.
Sodium-ion’s position has strengthened substantially in the past 12 months but its adoption in Europe depends on several key factors including data centres and their use case, an analyst said.
South Korean battery giant LG Energy Solution (LG ES) has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with owner-operator Energix-Renewable Energies to expand collaboration on energy storage projects in Europe and the US.
Owner-operator Giga Storage has finalised financing for the construction of its 350MW/1,400MWh Albatross energy storage project near Neuenkirchen in Lower Saxony, Germany.
As demand for battery storage soars, the European Union (EU) has tried to grow its local battery supply chain with mixed success so far, writes PV ESS analyst Charlotte Gisbourne.
Four-hour battery storage is less expensive than open-cycle gas turbines in the 43 markets in which both technologies were modelled, according to a new report from market research firm Wood Mackenzie.
Intilion has just tied up with CATL for sodium-ion BESS deployments in Europe, following Alfen’s similar move in July, while Merus Power tells us it is in the process of integrating with the OEM’s new product.Â
Electrifying low-temperature industrial heat and steam processes with renewables could reduce European Union natural gas consumption by 35 billion cubic metres-per-year, according to a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
