Dutch battery developer GIGA Storage has signed a tolling agreement with Swedish utility Vattenfall for 100 MW of its 300…

Researchers at Monash University have demonstrated a multiscale reduced graphene oxide architecture achieving 99.5 Wh/L volumetric energy density in ionic…

ENGIE has won its first large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) project in India, marking a strategic entry into one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy markets.

Germany’s grid operators are processing an unprecedented surge in applications for large battery storage systems, many exceeding 100 MW, yet projects continue to advance only in strict chronological order.

Australia’s energy transition hinges on a single figure: up to 95% variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration in the National Energy Market by 2030, according to CSIRO and AEMO modeling. Reaching that threshold, necessary for the country to hit its 43% emissions-reduction target by 2030 and net zero by 2050, requires storage technologies that can deliver reliable, multi-hour power far beyond the capabilities of lithium-ion systems.

Global EV adoption is accelerating faster than most recycling systems can keep up. Waste from end-of-life batteries, just 500,000 tons in 2019, is projected by researchers to reach eight million tons by 2040, underscoring a widening gap between electrification targets and the infrastructure required to support them.

Fluence Energy’s evaluation of India as a battery energy storage system manufacturing hub confronts a market paradox: ambitious capacity projections…

Global primary energy intensity, the key metric for measuring improvements in energy efficiency, is projected to rise by 1.8% in 2025, according to the IEA’s latest Energy Efficiency 2025 report, an improvement from 1% in 2024 but still far below the 4% annual increase agreed at COP28 for 2030.

EnergyPathways’ newly announced non-binding cooperation agreement with Siemens Energy positions compressed air energy storage (CAES) as a potential tool for absorbing surplus renewable electricity and delivering multi-day, low-carbon power, a capability conventional battery systems cannot economically provide at scale.

The global build-out of utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is rapidly shifting from project-by-project procurement to multi-gigawatt platform agreements, a trend underscored by the recently announced Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Trina Storage, a division of Trinasolar, and Pacific Green Energy Group.
