Advances in sodium-ion battery energy storage systems come from Peak Energy in the US, deploying its sodium-ion system in Colorado, and Phenogy, deploying Europe’s largest sodium-ion system in Germany.

Hithium has announced its lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) for supporting data centres, while Storion Energy has secured its first vanadium electrolyte customer.

Sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) startup Peak Energy has launched and shipped its first sodium-ion BESS to be deployed in a shared pilot with nine utility and independent power producers (IPPs).

A new partnership aims to deploy an integrated solution combining solar PV with sodium-ion batteries at commercial and industrial (C&I) sites in Southeast Asia.

A new study from Stanford says that sodium-ion batteries will need more breakthroughs in order to compete with lithium-ion (Li-ion).

Peak Energy, a startup claiming to be the ‘first American venture to advance globally proven sodium-ion battery systems,’ has raised US$55 million in a Series A funding round.

Here’s news in brief from around the world in energy storage with liquid metal battery maker Ambri, a German government-funded sodium-ion initiative, and ESS Inc’s iron flow battery project at Amsterdam.

Sodium-ion battery technology could be the “perfect solution for applications where energy density is not paramount,” according to the chief executive of battery tech company BMZ Group.
