Wildcat Discovery Technologies is building a US plant for LFP cathode and next-gen battery materials

Charged EVs

Now the company is building a US plant to produce nickel-free and cobalt-free cathode materials. It offers similar performance, but manganese is very cheap, and it operates at a higher voltage, which enables a significant increase in energy density. LMFP is a version of LFP in which some of the iron is replaced by manganese.

Amazon Vies for Nuclear-Powered Data Center

Cars That Think

When Amazon Web Services paid US $650 million in March for another data center to add to its armada, the tech giant thought it was buying a steady supply of nuclear energy to power it, too. Amazon wanted to increase the amount of behind-the-meter power it buys from the plant from 300 MW to 480 MW. Susquehanna agreed to sell it.

SpaceX is building launch pad tanks out of Starship parts and that’s a big deal

Teslarati

While a few ground starge tanks may look like a distraction in the scope of a program tasked with building the world’s largest (and fully reusable) rocket, the existence of those tanks is far more significant than it might initially appear. Instead, SpaceX has decided to design and build its own propellant storage tanks.

BNEF ups forecast for global investment in stationary energy storage, sees majority of capacity likely to be grid-scale

Green Car Congress

These include energy shifting (moving in time the dispatch of electricity to the grid, often from times of excess solar and wind generation), peaking in the bulk power system (to deal with demand spikes), as well as for customers looking to save on their energy bills by buying electricity at cheap hours and using it later.

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) That’s why Liu’s Thermal Energy Storage Group at ORNL is focused primarily on buildings.
