Power firm Uniper has entered into a conditional supply contract with organic solid flow battery company CMBlu Energy for the delivery of at least 5GWh of its technology.

Lithium-ion companies have come out as the top-rated suppliers on a new long-duration energy storage (LDES) leaderboard, while CO2 Battery company Energy Dome is the highest non-lithium company.

Energy-Storage.news Premium speaks with Giovanni Damato, redox flow battery developer CMBlu’s North American President, about using its technology to help meet energy demands.

Just over 70% of the successful projects in the first window of the UK’s long-duration energy storage (LDES) scheme are using lithium-ion BESS technology.

A trio of energy storage startups: XL Batteries, Unbound Potential and Fourth Power, have raised financing for emerging flow battery and thermal storage technologies.

Emerging tech must prove it can outcompete the incumbent, writes Sightline Climate analyst Lukas Karapin-Springorum, outlining the state of play in LDES technology today.

As the US looks to establish reliable battery supply chains, TerraFlow Energy and ESS Tech look beyond lithium-ion for long-duration energy storage solutions.

China continues to dominate BESS deployments globally with 4.3GW/11.2GWh of deployments in May, including a 1GWh flow battery system.

Flow battery developer XL Batteries has partnered with data centre developer Prometheus Hyperscale to deploy its batteries on-site at data centres.

Flow battery developer XL Batteries has commissioned its first organic flow battery through a pilot project with global storage provider Stolthaven Terminals.
