Fast facts on #Sodium-#Ion#batteries .
NASA solid state target = 500Wh/kg
#Tesla 21700 battery = 300Wh/kg
#LFP#Lithium = 160Wh/kg
CATL Gen 1 Sodium-Ion = 160Wh/kg
CATL Gen 2 Sodium-Ion = 200Wh/kg (In dev only)
Conclusion: Na a threat to LFP and Static Storage

> #China's Time Energy Storage Tech Co has completed a 100 million RMB Round 1 financing for commercialization of water based #organic#flow#batteries.
Phase one assembly line with 2GWh has reached production level.
The world's second largest vanadium flow battery has been launched in China. The 50MW/200MWh shared energy storage project will be able to store and redeploy 150 million kWh of energy per year.

A ‘revolutionary’ breakthrough in solar power technology could bring cheap, clean energy to more homes: ‘It’s very exciting’ https://t.co/J9tpIdmSj2 via @YahooNews
> Those that have #lithium over cooked may want to think again. #China#newenergy#vehicle sales have surged in September to 904,000 units up 28% YoY.
Annual sales inc exports so far hit 6.2 million up 37.5% YoY and accounting for almost 30% of all vehicle sales

To those pointing the finger at #China for pollution I would remind them.
#China makes all the stuff consumed by western demand for "things". That pollution actually belongs to consumers, not China.
#China has done much more for #newenergy dev than any other country in the world.
Revolutionizing Renewable #Energy: The Rise of HECSP Technology. More important than most understand. The ability to adapt to the #grid is fundamental to #newenergy success.

The development of #sodium#ion#batteries appears the new darling in #China. Implications for #lithium and spherical #graphite could be huge in years to come. Less energy density but keeps improving. Unaffected by cold weather. Super fast charge. No thermal runaway and cheap.
Horizon Energy has purchased a 78kW/220kWh vanadium redox flow battery which will test the capability of long duration storage to enable 100 per cent renewable energy across regional areas of Western Australia.
