Energy Dome, the startup commercialising a proprietary carbon dioxide-based long-duration energy storage (LDES) tech called the CO2 Battery, has secured investment into a grid-scale project.

Cumulative energy storage installations will go beyond the terawatt-hour mark globally before 2030 excluding pumped hydro, with lithium-ion batteries providing most of that capacity, according to new forecasts.

Round-trip efficiency of alternative storage technologies is the standout metric for assessing their potential versus lithium-ion.

Enfinite has brought online two more battery assets in a nine-project portfolio in Alberta, Canada, while Elemental Energy has commenced operation of a large-scale vanadium flow battery system.

Prices of lithium and the battery supply chain for energy storage systems are becoming manageable once again, but lead times for transformers and other equipment have greatly extended.

A multi-year offtake deal and technology partnership between Kore Power and Nidec were among the flurry of deals announced at RE+ last week.

Suppliers of equipment to two landmark battery storage projects in Western Australia have been awarded contracts worth more than a billion dollars from the state’s government.

Verkor, a company building a lithium-ion gigafactory in France, and system integrator Nidec ASI will together produce up to 10GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to 2030.
