Energy Storage

The conductive fast-charging system as we know it today has drawbacks such as long dwell times, high power demand from the grid, availability and reliability issues, and the need for end-users to deal with heavy cables, dirty connectors, and buggy user interfaces. Battery-swapping is an emerging technology that aims to address all of these shortcomings.

Goal Zero offer a range of energy storage and generation products. This robust portfolio of products includes portable power stations (PPS), solar panels, home and vehicle integration kits, expansion tanks, and lighting. The company has prioritised disaster relief, community empowerment, and humanitarian missions for over 12 years, on which they pride themselves on. A PPS is a rechargeable battery that is large enough to provide backup power to your home, appliances, or for outdoor activities. These are typically larger than power banks, but of lesser capacity to the batteries one would find in a purely residential setting. Their PPS products use NMC cathodes.

To power our increasingly electrified society, energy storage technology must evolve and adapt to meet the growing demand. Lithium-ion batteries, already essential to myriad technology, will require dramatic improvements in high-energy density, safety, temperature resilience, and environmental sustainability in order to provide the type of emission-free future that so many envision.

One of the major environmental issues facing the planet today is the rising levels of plastic consumption and waste. As carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions also soar, the emerging carbon capture and utilization (CCU) industry propose a solution for both issues: creating lower-carbon, degradable polymers using CO2 emissions as the feedstock.

The European Commission finances with more than 10 million euros a project to develop new technological processes for the recovery of critical raw materials contained in electric vehicle batteries, through the Horizon Europe programme. A consortium of 18 partners from seven countries will develop this project, known as BATRAW, which is of strategic importance for the EU in reducing its dependence on imports of these critical raw materials, as well as being able to guarantee a stable supply chain in view of the expected growth of the electric mobility market in Europe in the coming years.

Ecoflow offer a range of energy storage products including solar generators, portable power stations, portable solar panels, power banks, refurbished products, and smart appliances. They are a strong company in the energy storage and generation space due to their wide portfolio of products and strong company financials. A PPS is a rechargeable battery that is large enough to provide backup power to your home, appliances, or for outdoor activities. These are typically larger than power banks, but of lesser capacity to the batteries one would find in a purely residential setting. Their PPS products use LFP cathodes.

With over nine years of experience in the field, Jackery are a global energy company producing portable power and are one of the world's biggest manufacturers of outdoor solar utilities. They offer various products such as solar panels, solar generators, and portable power stations (PPS). A PPS is a rechargeable battery that is large enough to provide backup power to your home, appliances, or for outdoor activities. These are typically larger than power banks, but of lesser capacity to the batteries one would find in a purely residential setting. Their battery chemistries are undisclosed but use Li-ion technologies.

Mercedes-Benz is aligning its global production network to manufacture its reshaped product portfolio focused on luxury electric vehicles as the car brand prepares to go all electric by the end of the decade - wherever market conditions allow. The future product portfolio will focus on three categories: Top End Luxury, Core Luxury and Entry Luxury.

As our tech needs grow and the Internet of Things increasingly connects our devices and sensors together, figuring out how to provide power in remote locations has become an expanding field of research.

GreenFire Energy Inc. is a United States-based company deploying a closed-loop technology to improve the harvesting of geothermal energy. In March 2022, IDTechEx Technology Analyst Dr Hydra Rodrigues spoke with John Muir, Senior Vice President of Business Development at GreenFire Energy, and Hollis Chin, VP of Marketing at GreenFire Energy.

Nanomaterials remain a significant growth area with the potential to enable a wide range of next-generation technologies. This article will focus on CNT yarns and sheets before expanding on to high-aspect-ratio and hybrid materials; these are all at an earlier commercial stage than the main MWCNT market.

The technology group Wärtsilä will partner with low carbon energy company SSE to deliver a 50 MW / 100 MWh energy storage system in Salisbury, Wiltshire. The battery will be the first connected directly to the transmission network by SSE's new solar and battery division and will support access to clean, reliable energy by balancing the intermittency of renewables.

Both parties are leveraging their expertise to jointly develop energy storage systems based on ProLogium's unique solid-state batteries technology which are a suitable energy storage alternative with particularly high energy density for a wide range of applications, such as the transportation sector.
