Convincing investors to take the plunge into energy storage can be challenging. But newly launched energy storage infrastructure specialist Flexion Energy recently achieved this feat when it secured £150m of investment from GLIL Infrastructure.
Hopes for the wider adoption of battery storage are largely pinned on the availability of affordable lithium. Lithium is a highly reactive alkali metal, which conducts heat easily and is also relatively lightweight. That makes it an excellent component for batteries...
The Covid-19 pandemic has hit women the hardest and erased years of progress on gender equality. That is the finding of hundreds of pieces of research in the last year.
The lack of competition in the battery supply industry could be jeopardising the future of storage. That’s the view of some in the storage sector who argue that customers’ preference for what they see as the elite battery suppliers...
If storage is to truly fulfil its potential as part of the global energy transition, it has to surmount a number of challenges. These include ensuring it is priced competitively, sustainable, and able to be utilised at massive scale...
If you could design an area for wind farms, it'd look like the Kazakh Steppe.
The Australian wind market is eerily quiet. Not a single onshore wind farm reached financial close in the first five months of 2021.
Is Europe failing to see the tremendous potential of energy storage?
How can we get fit for 55? No, we’re not talking about a godawful exercise regime for the early 50s involving kettlebells and protein shakes.
