The latest news on energy storage lithium battery projects

What is a lithium-ion battery project?

The battery project, which will use lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) technology, will have a power capacity of 275 MW and an energy storage capacity of up to 2,200-MWh over eight hours. With existing and planned projects globally, this constitutes the largest eight-hour lithium-ion battery project in the world to date.

Which non lithium energy storage companies did a weak 3rd quarter results?

Eos, ESS Tech Inc and Energy Vault, the three big-name non-lithium energy storage firms that listed via SPAC deals, saw weak third quarter results. The US battery storage system integrator arm of Korean battery manufacturer LG Energy Solution (LG ES) has signed a 4-year supply deal with developer Terra-Gen.

What is the biggest 8-hour lithium battery in the world?

The Richmond Valley Battery Energy Storage System will likely be the biggest eight-hour lithium battery in the world when it is completed.

Could lithium-sulfur technology unlock better batteries for electric vehicles?

Some companies are looking beyond lithium for stationary energy storage. Dig into the prospects for sodium-based batteries in this story from last year. Lithium-sulfur technology could unlock cheaper, better batteries for electric vehicles that can go farther on a single charge.

Could sodium-ion batteries be a cheaper alternative to lithium ion?

A new factory will be the first full-scale plant to produce sodium-ion batteries in the US. The chemistry could provide a cheaper alternative to the standard lithium-ion chemistry and avoid material constraints. (Bloomberg)

Are batteries the future of energy?

The planet’s oceans contain enormous amounts of energy. Harnessing it is an early-stage industry, but some proponents argue there’s a role for wave and tidal power technologies. (Undark) Batteries can unlock other energy technologies, and they’re starting to make their mark on the grid.
