We're on the cusp of a significant wave in energy storage deployment in India, and last week's check on our own system in Delhi reconfirmed why this is such an important market for us. 📄This recent article from pv magazine Global highlights this transformation. While we're beginning to see progress in India, it's crucial to put things in perspective. India's total energy storage capacity (219.1 MWh/111.7 MW as of March 2024) is still smaller than many individual projects in Europe. ⏳ Additionally, the current duration of storage systems in India is around two hours. To effectively harness solar energy and address the 'duck curve', much longer storage durations are needed. The potential for growth is immense, and we're excited to be part of this transformative phase 🚀 #EnergyStorage #India #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower
LiNa Energy
Appliances, Electrical, and Electronics Manufacturing
LiNa Energy is leading the charge to develop and commercialise low-cost solid state sodium batteries.
About us
LiNa Energy is a developer and provider of low-cost solid state sodium batteries, with a focus on the renewable energy storage market. LiNa Energy was created as a spin-out of Lancaster University, where the founders Dr Gene Lewis and Dr Richard Dawson combined their expertise in ceramics and electrochemistry and applied this to the problem of energy storage. Since then, the company has developed an innovative solid state sodium-based battery technology which offers superior safety and sustainability standards compared to lithium-based batteries. Thanks to its patented design and use of abundant raw component materials, LiNa’s batteries are lower cost to deploy and offer higher performance than lithium-ion alternatives. LiNa Energy is privately held and run by a leadership team comprising the original founders and talent drawn from energy sector and big four consulting firms.

India is a critical market for us and in the past few days, we’ve participated in two significant events 📣🇮🇳 At the India Global Forum in London, Will Tope contributed to a roundtable on “Driving Global Innovation – Cleantech and the Road Ahead.” We also attended the India Energy Storage Week (IESW) in India, where Will spoke on a panel about "Long Duration Energy Storage Technologies for India". Our next focus is monitoring the progress of our BESS pilot in Delhi, conducted in partnership with our strategic Indian partner. Stay tuned for updates as our Indian road trip continues! #India #Delhi #BESS #CleanTech

🌍🔋 As we approach the general election this week, we remain hopeful that regardless of the outcome, the incoming government will prioritise and support the energy transition. This is not just about our environment, but about sustainable economic growth, energy security, and a brighter future for all. Here’s hoping that we can move forward together towards a cleaner, greener, and more resilient planet 🌱💡 #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Election2024

This week ACWA Power visited LiNa Energy HQ. It was a great opportunity to show off our cost-effective, long-duration storage system, which is crucial to maximising the potential of solar and reducing reliance on fossil fuels when the sun doesn’t shine. Thanks Christos Iraklis - it was a pleasure to host you. Updates to follow, so watch this space!

Last week we had a company away day 🎉 . It was a great opportunity for team building and also a chance for some time out from a very busy period, which culminated in our new system being installed with a partner in India 🔋 🔌. A lot of fun was had as we worked our way through the crystal team challenge - which included team skiing ⛷ , a dungeon dilemma ⁉ and a snake swamp 🐍 - to name a few! Thank you to the whole team for your hard work and dedication throughout this period 🙏 . It was great to let our hair down and engage with an altogether different challenge. #batterytechnology #teambuilding

In this latest article, Will Tope explores what happens when the duck curve becomes a canyon 🦆 🏔 To ensure the clean energy transition doesn't stall, innovation is critical and new data shows that solar and wind generation is growing faster than ever expected. But how do we align energy production with demand patterns?

Team LiNa Energy has been in Delhi installing our BESS pilot project with our strategic Indian partner 🔋 🇮🇳 And it’s been hot ☀️ A 47°C heatwave has kept us on our toes and served as a stark reminder of the challenges of operating in the Global South, but also the clear need for energy storage resilient enough to withstand these blistering conditions. Thank you to Daniel Matthews leading the team in India but also to everyone on the ground at LiNa HQ - we are grateful for all that you’ve done to get us to this point Dean Batty, Lauren Heavyside, Sophie Santon, Jordan Stirzaker, Diana Antonova, Andreas Bäckström, Connor Buckley, Joana Azevedo, Duncan Bloemers, Elliot Eaton, Dawid Januszkiewicz, Decio Lima, Leopold Liao, Sarah Lucas, Begoña Silván Uriarte, John Steggall & Graham Stevenson.

👩🔬Update from the Lab - hot inside, cold outside - no problem 👨🔬 This week we decided to test our latest thermal management system in freezing conditions ❄️ This is important, as many of the solar growth locations around the world experience high temperatures during the day and freezing conditions during the night. By vastly simplifying the thermal management system we’re able to keep our batteries safe whatever the external conditions 🏔️🌇

This week Will Tope is at Ecosummit in Berlin, where sustainability is big business. The event is a fantastic opportunity to meet with investors on the lookout for the latest disruptive cleantech, as well as discuss the latest trends and challenges in our sector. Great to get LiNa Energy on the radar 🚀. Thanks to Jan Michael Hess for another superb event. #sustainability #energy #investment #ecosummit
