A wide array of different types of energy storage options are available for use in the energy sector and more are emerging as the technology becomes a key component in the energy systems of the future worldwide. As the need for energy storage in the sector grows, so too does the range of solutions available […]
Promising New Material Can Store Solar Energy For At Least Four Months: Study
Energy storage is equally important as energy generation and the same can be seen in the everyday-life batteries that we use. The more energy they can store, the more efficient they are considered for use. The same applies to any harnessing energy from any source, including our Sun. In a breakthrough discovery, researchers at Lancaster […]
Omega Seiki, C4V to introduce solid state batteries for electric vehicles in India
Omega Seiki, a part of Anglian Omega Group of companies, on Tuesday said it has joined hands with New York-based company C4V to introduce solid-state batteries for electric vehicle (EVs) and the renewable sector in India. As part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the two companies are also looking at the manufacturing of solid-state […]
Aluminum-anode batteries could make solar energy storage more affordable
One of the challenges with capturing green solar energy is in being able to store that energy for use in times when the sun is unavailable. While the cost of harvesting solar energy has declined significantly in recent years, the cost to store that energy via battery packs and other methods hasn’t come down as […]
Community batteries: what are they, and how could they help Australian energy consumers?
Labor proposes funding batteries to allow households with solar power to pool excess electricity. Here’s what you need to know In what might be the most attention the battery world has had since Elon Musk built South Australia’s giant battery, Labor has announced that if they win the next election they will front up the […]
New batteries give jolt to renewables, energy storage
ITHACA, N.Y. : The cost of harvesting solar energy has dropped so much in recent years that it’s giving traditional energy sources a run for their money. However, the challenges of energy storage – which require the capacity to bank an intermittent and seasonally variable supply of solar energy – have kept the technology from […]
POSCO Chemical to supply cathode materials for electric vehicles to LG-GM joint venture
Following the selection of anode material supplier in December of last year, POSCO Chemical products will be mounted as core material on the exclusive electric vehicle platform Ultium produced by GM Seoul [South Korea]: POSCO Chemical announced on Monday that it has agreed to supply cathode materials for electric vehicle batteries to Ultium Cells, a […]
Wisconsin Auto Dealership Installs Microgrid-Based EV Charging Units
Bergstrom Automotive in Neenah, Wisconsin, has installed clean-energy, microgrid-based EV charging units that can each generate at least 23 megawatt hours of solar energy annually, enough for the dealership to provide nearly 500 electric vehicle charges. The company says the clean energy solution will emit 50% fewer carbon emissions compared to charging vehicles from the […]
Volkswagen powers up for the electric vehicle revolution: Andy Home
Batteries are, quite literally, the driver of the e-mobility revolution and Volkswagen has clear ideas about what it wants and at what price as it prepares to transition from the internal combustion engine (ICE). Its roadmap has major implications for battery metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese. LONDON: Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess is […]
Coca Cola Amatil Indonesia Says Sustainability Agenda Remains Unscathed
Jakarta. Sugary beverage manufacturer Coca Cola Amatil Indonesia calls for all stakeholders to collaborate in the fight against climate change. The bottler’s public affairs, communications, and sustainability director Lucia Karina said people are quick to point their fingers at the private sector when an environmental issue rises. However, everyone should play a role to save […]
