H2X to make hydrogen fuel cells, equipment in Australia
H2X, a hydrogen vehicle manufacturer, has announced a deal with Gippsland Circular Economy Precinct in Australia to make a range of hydrogen-focused products. The move comes less than a week after Pure Hydrogen bought a significant stake in H2X Global.
Tesla orders 45 GWh of EV batteries from CATL
Reports calculated that the single order would be enough to support production of 800,000 vehicles.
Synthetic inertia put to test with big battery registered in Australia
From pv magazine Australia Lumea, the commercial arm of AustralianMega transmission network operator TransGrid, said commissioning of the $61.9 million Wallgrove Grid Battery has begun after it achieved registration with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) earlier this week. The 50 MW/75 MWh lithium-ion battery has been installed adjacent to Transgrid’s Wallgrove substation in Western […]
Gravity-based energy storage tower developer notches a customer order
From pv magazine USA The gravity-based energy storage tower developed by Energy Vault has reached commercialization, with the company signing an agreement with DG Fuels to supply 1.6 GWh of energy storage. The tower will be charged with solar photovoltaic energy. The dispatched storage will support the creation of renewable hydrogen, biogenic based, synthetic aviation […]
Australian hydrogen ship maker to develop 2.8 GW green facility
Compressed hydrogen ship maker Global Energy Ventures will develop a 2.8 GW green hydrogen export project on the Tiwi Islands, off the coast of the Northern Territory. It says the project will demonstrate the simplicity and efficiency of compressed hydrogen for Asia-Pacific supply chains, and will of course use a fleet of its own hydrogen-powered and hydrogen carrying 430-tonne ships.
Converting coal mines into gravity-based renewable energy storage facilities
U.K.-based Gravitricity is planning to deploy its gravity-based energy storage solution at a decommissioned coal mine in Czechia. The project is part of a plan to commence a full-scale, 4-8 MW prototype scheme in disused mines next year.
The Hydrogen Stream: New magnesium-based composite for hydrogen storage and a big push from South Korea
Researchers at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) identified a new magnesium-based alloy that could be used for hydrogen storage. Furthermore, Hyundai Mobis announced a $1.1 billion (€0.95 billion) investment in two new fuel cell plants in South Korea, while South Korea’s SK Group formed a joint venture with US hydrogen solutions company Plug Power to develop green hydrogen across several Asian countries.
Australian developer steps up plans for 400 MW pumped hydro project
BE Power will continue to progress plans to construct a 400 MW pumped hydro storage project near Toowoomba in southeast Queensland after the local government authority gave the project its tick of approval.
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.
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.
