AkzoNobel Powder Coatings to showcase Interpon and Resicoat innovations at leading North American trade shows

AkzoNobel Powder Coatings will demonstrate how its Interpon and Resicoat brands are helping manufacturers, architects and designers solve today’s coating challenges at four major North American trade shows this autumn. Across the four events – The Battery Show North America, ZAK World of Facades New York, FABTECH USA and Facades+ – the company will highlight […] The post AkzoNobel Powder Coatings to showcase Interpon and Resicoat innovations at leading North American trade shows appeared first on Architecture Magazine.

Decade-long investment highlights rooftop solar potential

Calder Stewart says it plans to invest more than $110 million in rooftop solar and battery storage across its industrial property portfolio over the next decade, creating what the company says could become one of New Zealand’s largest distributed energy networks. The programme is expected to see up to 170,000 solar panels installed across industrialContinue reading "Decade-long investment highlights rooftop solar potential"

£28M in grants for battery technologies with more than 100 hours capacity

The UK Government has launched a £28M competition to accelerate the development of energy storage technologies capable of supplying electricity for 100 hours or more. The post £28M in grants for battery technologies with more than 100 hours capacity appeared first on New Civil Engineer.

Mitie, Revera break ground on 400MWh BESS

Mitie Power & Grid, and Carlyle-backed partners Revera Energy, have broken ground on the Windyhill Battery Energy Storage Site near Glasgow. In the first phase, the 400MWh site will store enough energy for 50,000 homes for two hours, with a second phase of the same scale planned.

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?
