Hot batteries, hotter sites: why the lithium-ion risk is not being taken seriously enough

Matt Partridge is head of product development at Armorgard UK Last year, UK fire brigades attended 1,760 lithium-ion battery fires, according to data gathered by global business insurer QBE. That's one callout roughly every five hours, leading the London Fire Brigade to name it the… The post Hot batteries, hotter sites: why the lithium-ion risk is not being taken seriously enough appeared first on Construction News.

Baker Electric Expands Substation Services for Growing Demand

Award of Merit — Renovation/Restoration: Low Battery Seawall Restoration Project

Rather than demolishing and replacing Charleston’s century-old Low Battery seawall, the team developed an approach that retained the wall base where possible and transferred loads to new micropile underpinning.

Enerven to Build 400-MW Australian Battery Storage Project

Atmos Renewables expects Enerven to mobilize this month after nine months of preconstruction work, with commercial operation of Teebar targeted for late 2028 in Queensland, Australia.

Just Have a Think - Energy storage in oxygen 18062023

Energy storage is a key element of grid decarbonisation. Developers all over the world are looking for ways to supplement the hard work currently being shouldered predominantly by lithium-ion technology. Now a team of researchers in Vienna has shown us how we can reliably move electrons using oxygen as the main source

Fully Charged Show - MASSIVE Storage. THIS is How To Power the Grid With 100% Renewable Energy! 23052023

Big batteries are perhaps the key to making a completely renewably powered grid possible. Imogen visited Europe's largest battery energy storage system, Pillswood in Hull to find out how Harmony Energy is getting as much clean energy from Dogger Bank, the world's biggest wind farm, onshore and into our homes. But these are no ordinary batteries, at 200 MWh these Tesla Megapacks are decked out with Artificial Intelligence, these are working to make the grid both renewable and flexible.

Undecided - Why Salt Water may be the Future of Batteries 09052023

There’s no shortage of solutions to the world’s need for renewable energy storage, but there is a shortage of accessible and cheap resources to use for those solutions. Lithium and vanadium aren't limitless, so what about regular, run-of-the-mill salt? Redox flow batteries, or RFBs, can exploit the abundance of elements like sodium and iron. One U.S. company already has salt water batteries ready to go, with at least two others developing iron flow variations built to effectively run on rust.

Just Have a Think - Battery recycling just got a whole lot better 14052023

Recycling will play a crucial role in providing enough minerals and metals for the energy storage solutions of the future. But current recycling methods are very energy-hungry and can be environmentally harmful. Now a new process aims to overcome both those challenges, and save time and money as well!

WSJ - EV Batteries: Can the U.S. Challenge China’s Industry Dominance? 24032023

China’s dominance is clear when it comes to powering electric vehicles. The U.S. lags in most steps of the battery-making process, from sourcing raw materials to assembling components. The U.S. government is spending billions of dollars to take on China’s dominance in EV batteries. WSJ explores whether the U.S. can overcome these disadvantages

Are sufficient recycling facilities being planned along with the battery Gigafactories?
