Huawei has intensified its ambitions in advanced energy storage by patenting a sulfide-based solid-state battery capable of achieving driving ranges of up to 3,000 kilometres and ultra-fast charging in just five minutes.
[pdf] Recent pilot projects by Belgian startup H2Congo show promising results – storing surplus hydro energy as hydrogen during rainy seasons, then converting it back to electricity during dry months. Congo isn't just about storing energy – it's sitting on 70% of the world's cobalt reserves.
[pdf] The project includes six battery energy storage systems of varying capacities – from 20 to 50 MW each – connected to the Ukrainian power grid. Collectively, the systems have the capacity to store 400 MWh of electricity, enough to power 600,000 Ukrainian homes for two hours.
