Some great news to kick off the week - energy storage is booming! The US is experiencing a surge in battery storage, with a record-breaking first quarter in 2024. Overall installations grew a massive 84% year-on-year, with grid storage showing even faster growth. This boom is driven by a perfect storm: rapidly growing solar capacity and the need for solutions to manage excess clean energy. Battery storage is proving its value by helping prevent blackouts, meeting peak demand fluctuations, and displacing fossil fuel usage. This trend is poised to continue, presenting exciting opportunities for utilities and energy sensitive businesses to capitalise on the growing demand for battery storage solutions. Are you ready to join the clean energy revolution? Our long duration energy storage solution can last for multiple days and work reliably in harsh (read: hot) conditions. Get in touch with our team to see how it might fit into your energy resilience strategy. #energystorage #renewableenergy #energytransition #LDES Read full story -> https://lnkd.in/ed-Ar8Wk

🤝 Celebrating our new partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. In our recently closed Series A2 raise, the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries team joined our mission to accelerate the clean energy transition and enable a net zero future. Masumoto Ryoji (Ryan), VP, Investment & Business Development at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries sat down with our CEA James Larsen to discuss the role of long-duration energy storage for the global energy transition. Watch the full conversation 👇 #energytransition #cleantech #partners #LDES #partnership #goodenergy
I'm happy to share that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has invested in e-Zinc, a Canadian long-duration energy storage technology startup. By utilizing zinc as the base metal in their technology, e-Zinc delivers a product that holds energy for multiple days and can safely and reliably perform in the world's harshest environments. As James Larsen shares in our #GoodEnergy series, renewable energy is inherently intermittent. A storm can reduce the amount of solar energy collected for several days, which is just one reason why long-duration energy storage is so critical to the energy transition. With demand for renewable electricity sources like #wind and #solar continuing to grow, affordable, adaptable, and durable energy storage solutions are essential for achieving a net zero future.

What is energy storage? And why is everyone, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, talking about it? Energy storage is the bridge between energy generation and consumption. By capturing and holding energy for later use, storage empowers businesses to optimize energy use, mitigate grid disruptions, and ensure consistent power for consumers. Energy storage is especially crucial for the information and communication technology sector to achieve sustainable operations. It facilitates the utilization of renewable energy sources like solar and wind by capturing extra renewable energy when it's abundant and using it when needed, smoothing out the flow of clean, reliable electricity. The most common storage solutions are mechanical, electrochemical, thermal, electrical, and hydrogen based. The different types of storage technologies have varying advantages, so its important to understand the requirements of the organisation when selecting energy storage. Some of the key considerations are scalability, charge duration, storage cost, safety, and environmental impact. At e-Zinc, we have developed an electromagnetic technology based on #zinc, which is safe in any temperature conditions, easily scalable, and widely available. Our storage solution is ideal for organisations that have high reliability needs and require multiple days of resiliency, like data centres, hospitals and telecoms. Contact our CCO & Executive Lead of US expansion Balakrishnan Iyer to learn more about how our solution can support your organization's energy transition. #LDES #energytransition #renewables
