System integrator Alfen and battery company CATL have struck a 5GWh partnership for sodium-ion BESS deployments in Europe.

We caught up with the CCO of Netherlands-headquartered startup Moonwatt at last month’s Smarter E Europe trade show in Munich for a video interview.

Peak Energy, ESS Tech Inc, and Unigrid have made recent announcements advancing sodium-ion energy storage technology in the US and Europe.

System integrator HyperStrong will deploy sodium-ion BESS first in its home market of China, before bringing a product to the international markets, its president of technology said.

US sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery startup Alsym Energy and consulting organisation for the mining and energy sectors, Erity, have signed a 9GWh strategic relationship agreement (SRA) for global mining use-cases.

A group of sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery-focused companies have launched a new industry coalition, the American Battery Leadership Coalition (ABLC).

US sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery startup Alsym Energy and domestic manufacturing company Re:Build Manufacturing are partnering to develop commercial-scale battery cell manufacturing capacity in the US.

Sodium-ion may be increasingly competitive for projects where total lifecycle economics matter more than initial procurement cost alone, the CEO of HyperStrong told us after the system integrator signed a 60GWh supply and co-operation agreement with CATL.

We hear from industry sources about the significance of the CATL-HyperStrong sodium-ion BESS battery deal. Does it make a real turning point for the technology as an alternative to lithium-ion?

With CATL and HyperStrong’s 60GWh sodium-ion battery deal announcement yesterday, it’s an ideal time to look at the different sodium-ion cell chemistries and battery products available for BESS today.
