Used electric vehicle batteries could become one of the pillars of China’s energy transition in the future. According to recent research, up to 67% of China’s energy storage demand in 2050 could potentially be met by so-called second-life batteries. Second-life…
At the turn of 2025 and 2026, the world’s largest single electrochemical energy storage installation was connected to China’s national power grid. The project is the Envision Jingyi Chagan Hada Energy Storage Power Station with a capacity of 4 GWh.…
Against the backdrop of the global race for battery raw materials (lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite), a signal is coming from Germany that could, in the long term, change the rules of the game. A team of researchers from the…
Battery energy storage remains one of the fastest-growing segments of the global energy transition. Falling technology costs, the increasing share of renewables in energy mixes, and the need for grid stabilization have made BESS projects a pillar of the new…
The American company Noon Energy has launched a pilot energy storage system capable of supplying electricity for over 100 continuous hours. The company considers this an important step in the development of long-duration energy storage technology. Demonstration of the storage…
The energy transition in 2026 is set to accelerate, but its cost—both economic and political—will become increasingly evident. According to the Energy Outlook 2026 report prepared by ING analysts, Europe and the United States are entering a phase in which…
In Brunsbüttel, Schleswig-Holstein, one of Europe’s most innovative industrial projects has begun, combining the energy transition with the decarbonization of production processes. Covestro and Rondo Energy, in the presence of political and business representatives, officially inaugurated the construction of the…
China has once again confirmed its dominant position in the global energy storage market. In the past month alone, 18 GW of power and 65 GWh of capacity in large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) were connected to the grid…
A U.S. federal court has ruled in favor of the city of Saint Paul (Minnesota) and organizations supporting the energy transition, finding that the U.S. Department of Energy unlawfully canceled billions of dollars in federal clean energy grants. According to…
