This is interesting and looks quite promising.

There seems to be countless articles and reports covering new battery chemistries that promise to shake up the Lithium ion world. Not much about non-hydrogen based fuel cells.

Prototype sodium-air fuel cell could power electric planes and trains

Batteries are nearing their limits in terms of how much power they can store for a given weight. That's a serious obstacle for energy innovation and the search for new ways to power airplanes, trains, and ships. Now, researchers at MIT and elsewhere have come up with a solution that could help electrify these transportation systems.

Charge, Discharge, Dominate: Batteries are emerging as tool of choice for exercising market power

An analysis of significant “rebidding” in the NEM reveals how battery assets are being used to exert market power — by both incumbents and new entrants.

Construction starts in Switzerland for the world's largest battery storage facility.

The world's largest battery storage facility is being built in a new technology center in Laufenburg (TZL) in the Swiss canton of Aargau.

The redox flow battery, also known as a liquid battery or wet cell, will have a total capacity of more than 1.6 GWh and an output of over 800 MW.

Construction of the TZL began at the start of this week.

EVs already hold ~750 GWh of battery capacity—over 3x the world’s grid-scale storage (200 GWh). That’s a sleeping giant. V2G can turn millions of cars into a virtual power plant. China & Europe get it. So do Oz & California. This isn’t future tech—it’s untapped power. ⚡🚗 #V2G #EV #BatteryStorage

Subsidies work. That’s why Australia leads the world in rooftop solar—with 1 in 3 homes powered by the sun. ☀️ Time to do the same for batteries. Great to see our Labor govt step it up a notch.

@CaringKinderSociety great. What’s the alternative if we don’t want a Tesla battery? Best not prop up that nazi’s business.
