Vanadium redox flow batteries with purported LCOS of $0.10/kWh
Singapore-based VFlowTech has secured funds to scale up manufacturing of its vanadium redox flow batteries. The company currently offers three modular products that can be scaled to multi-megawatt-hour systems.
Intersolar Europe Day 1: Hope for Europe’s PV manufacturers
For the first time since 2019, Intersolar Europe has opened its doors. The pv magazine team is delighted to be on the ground in Munich this year to bring you the latest solar PV and energy storage developments, events, and trends from the event, as they happen. Stay tuned for our live updates over the next three days!
Supply shortages likely to hit utility energy storage as EV demand grows, IHS Markit says
Cell manufacturers are expected to prioritize larger customers in the automotive industry over relatively small energy storage system integrators.
The Hydrogen Stream: A new engine from China and IEA predictions for this decade
Chinese carmaker GAC Group has unveiled an engine it claims improves the mixing process of hydrogen and air. Elsewhere, the IEA has said $7 billion in new electrolyzers will be required globally by the end of the decade, and a British consortium is planning to build green hydrogen production facilities alongside 4 GW of solar, wind, and battery projects it is developing in the United Kingdom.
China can ensure a 1.5C world – and continue to dominate the global clean energy supply chain
A report by the IEA laying out two routes for China to reach net zero attempts to persuade policymakers to gun for that goal by 2050, rather than ten years later, and dangles the prospect of continued global dominance as the main reward on offer.
Australian engineer develops tech to produce green ammonia from air, water, PV
Chemical engineer Rose Amal arrived in Australia from Indonesia 38 years ago to study at UNSW. Now her leadership and research are contributing to a new sustainable economy for Australia and clean fuels for energy-hungry industries.
The Hydrogen Stream: Electrolysis tech that can produce hydrogen from virtually any water source including salt water
A Swiss-Canadian consortium is developing a novel process to produce green hydrogen. Furthermore, Italy’s Snam is cooperating with IRENA and a French consortium wants to deploy high-end hydrogen storage systems for the railway sector.
Closed-loop pumped hydro on the rise
Closed-loop pumped-hydro storage offers more chances to minimize environmental effects on water sources and overcomes the problem of finding suitable sites. According to an Australian research team, closed-loop systems could prevail on open-loop systems in the future and this trend is confirmed by another group of scientists from the United States.
Arevon Energy taps Tesla for 2 GW/6 GWh of storage supply
Arevon Energy will install Tesla Megapacks at California load centers in a four-year series of projects called the Falcon portfolio.
Australian Vanadium moves forward with vanadium electrolyte factory
Australian Vanadium Ltd. has appointed a Western Australian engineering company to begin the first stage of what it says will be the country’s first vanadium electrolyte manufacturing plant.
