What are the system needs that LDES is going to solve, and what technologies are most appropriate for those applications?

Francesco Oppici, co-founder and CCO of Carbon dioxide-based long-duration energy storage (LDES) company Energy Dome tied the commercialisation path of LDES to data centres.

Update 28 April 2026: Following publication of this story, Hydrostor reached out to clarify some of the conditions detailed below and provided a statement.

How much long-duration energy storage (LDES) does the UK system need, is the government’s cap-and-floor the right way to procure it, and what does the long-term picture look like?

Measures to limit EU exposure to fossil fuel supply chain and energy price shocks are welcome, but many questions remain, clean energy associations have said.

We look at the potential of flow batteries for LDES and compare the leading providers’ offerings and trajectories.

Hithium has signed a cooperation agreement for a potential 3GWh of battery storage deployments in the Asia-Pacific region with infrastructure investor Brawn Capital.

Form Energy has signed a 12GWh supply agreement in the US for its iron-air batteries with AI data centre infrastructure developer Crusoe.

Ex-Fluence alumnus Marek Kubik sat down with Energy-Storage.news at last month’s Energy Storage Summit 2026 in London to talk big picture BESS technology trends, including energy density, LDES and sodium-ion.
