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.

Allegro Energy has revealed what it claims is Australia’s first locally manufactured microemulsion flow battery (MeFB) suited for LDES.

We hear from XL Batteries and Quino Energy, ‘organic’ chemistry flow battery technology companies, about how they plan to scale up and reduce costs to compete with lithium-ion. 

Mark Croudace, executive representative of the LDES Council, questioned what technologies will join lithium-ion on the energy storage podium.

Largo has announced the successful closing of the previously announced transaction between its subsidiary, Largo Clean Energy Corp. and Stryten Critical E-Storage to establish joint venture Storion Energy.

As we welcome the end of another exciting, if sometimes challenging year, here are the most-read news stories on Energy-Storage.news for 2024.

On Friday (4 October), the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced Australia as an international collaborator on its Long Duration Storage Shot initiative.

The Australian government’s Department of Industry, Science and Resources has indicated that lithium-ion batteries are poised to “dominate” stationary storage for durations under 4-hours, but alternative technologies could surpass them for long duration energy storage (LDES).
