India’s Reliance Industries has completed the takeover of sodium-ion battery company Faradion, while Amazon is set to trial a novel flow battery technology.
Energy Dome has signed a contract with Alliant Energy for a 200MWh long-duration energy storage (LDES) project in Wisconsin, which the US utility considers the “first of many.”
Form Energy, the US startup behind a battery technology that aims to cost-effectively provide 100-hour duration energy storage, has closed a Series F funding round.
We hear from a managing director at TDK Ventures, investor in sodium-ion BESS company Peak Energy, about the current state and future potential of the technology which most agree is on the cusp of large-scale commercialisation.
Executives at US flow battery manufacturer ESS Inc. have said the company will be able to continue into 2025 and reach a gigawatt-hour of annual production capacity next year.
Work has begun on the first pilot project using Form Energy’s iron-air battery, designed to cost-effectively store and discharge energy over multiple days.
