Energy Storage

Efacec Electric Mobility is a provider of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) offering a full range of EV charging solutions including private charging, public charging, quick and ultra-fast charging, as well as wireless charging.

EVBox is an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) supplier providing EV charging solutions for both households, businesses and public use.

ESS Inc has developed a hybrid iron flow battery that can be significantly competitive with vanadium-based ones, with an electrolyte that is one order of magnitude cheaper.

In 2020 vessel owners have had to deal with an 'emissions control world' for the first time. Unlike most other mobility sectors, which predominantly tend to switch partly or completely to a traction battery in order to meet emissions targets, a mixture of solutions have a role to play for boats and ships.

A tiny microsupercapacitor that is as small as the width of a person's fingerprint and can be integrated directly with an electronic chip has been developed. This has attracted major attention as a novel technology to lead the era of Internet of Things since it can be driven independently when applied to individual electronic components.

This article concerns production of electricity with zero emissions that is off-grid or capable of being off-grid when needed. That usually means a system that has energy storage and increasingly smart versions, those that manage supply and demand often for multiple loads and/or inputs. However, we also give some coverage to simple-single purpose versions such as a shipping container with a solar panel on it that creates fresh water by self-generated electricity powering desalination.

In 2020, only modest numbers of zero-emission microgrids were being delivered. On current evidence, we find some certainties. Zero-emission, off grid (including fringe-of-grid) is a trend for many reasons already presented but it is, as yet, a slow trend for reasons discussed within the article.

Zinc8 Energy Solutions has made a deal to deploy a 100kW/1.5MWh zinc-air battery energy storage system in New York City, with financial support to come from New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.

IDTechEx analysts spoke with Li-Cycle, a North America based lithium-ion battery resource recovery company.

Energy storage devices are playing an ever more important role for energy grid stabilization, allowing to store excess of energy, hence preventing wastes, and re-use when energy demand increases.

The following premium article aims to dispel some of the myths surrounding electric two-wheelers in Asia and provide clarity and insight into the markets and the transition they are making towards becoming more modern, sustainable electric vehicles.

Compared to widely used lithium-ion batteries, which utilize liquid electrolytes, all-solid-state batteries support greater energy density, which opens the door for larger capacities, and utilize solid electrolytes, which are demonstrably safer.

Halocarbon ES manufacture fluorinated solvents for Li-ion electrolytes.

LG Chem have been expanding their Li-ion business aggressively.

Researchers demonstrate robust supercapacitors that still work when stretched to eight times their original size.

This profile discusses Tesla involvement in Li-ion battery development specifically.

Kokam is a premium South Korean battery maker. The company sells across a variety of segments, including heavy-duty electric vehicles as well as stationary energy storage.

CamX Power are a company focussed on battery materials and design. They have licensed cathode material to Johnson Matthey and BASF.

The redox flow battery market is growing. After more than 40 years of research, and 20 years of testing and demonstration projects, the flow batteries are now technologically ready to compete on the energy storage market. With a forecasted CAGR of 30% in the next years, this technology is looking to have all the characteristics to address each segment of the energy storage market, from residential to grid scale application.

Electrics and robotics squares the circle of seeking a wider variety of depleting materials in nastier, more remote places from the seafloor to four kilometres underground, up remote mountains and later outer space. Zero-emission microgrids on-site, sensors everywhere and new information and communications technology lubricate the process.
