@jmalchow Joe, excellent analysis. Sodium ion ESS is a good fit to this distributed model. No cooling, no preventative maintenance, no moving parts or fire risk and twice the lifetime of LFP. Peakenergy.com

Peak Energy, an energy-storage startup, received $55 million in funding to scale up production of sodium-ion batteries that the company is positioning as an alternative to the widely used lithium-ion technology. trib.al/dp84ht0

@deceptiveStroke @JesseJenkins Cost of atoms of the materials I. Sodium ion batteries is 2-3x lower than lithium ion. The lower energy density means more process cost but you still end up roughly 30% below even the lowest estimates for where lithium ion LFP ends up.

The first grid-connected battery using new, lower-cost sodium ion batteries is now online in Guangxi, China. cnevpost.com/2024/05/13/chi… Expect a lot more of this: Sodium ion batteries don't use any expensive lithium & their lower energy density isn't a problem for stationary grid storage (unlike use in EVs). Cheaper grid batteries are coming...

@Clampy007 @JesseJenkins @cody_a_hill Fire safety concerns for lithium ion systems as well as maintenance in the field. Sodium may change the game here.

@JesseJenkins @cody_a_hill If land is an issue, why on Earth (geddit?) aren't they stacked?

@cody_a_hill @JesseJenkins True, however given sodium’s superior safety and thermal properties cells can be larger and packed more tightly at the system level which compensates for most of the cell level energy density penalty. Speaking in the context of NFPP cathodes which the optimal choice for ESS apps.

@JesseJenkins I disagree with "lower energy density isn't a problem for stationary grid storage," although certainly less of a problem, land is crazy expensive (competition with logistics and data centers) in most of the industrial places near load that most need a lot of storage.

Very excited to announce my new venture! linkedin.com/posts/camdales…

We're thrilled our next-generation 3D Silicon Lithium-ion batteries have been recognized as a CES 2022 Innovation Award Honoree for outstanding design and engineering. ow.ly/4oJa50GKVKG #JustInTimeForTheFuture #CES2022

Silicon is an abundant natural element. We replace graphite in the anode with 100% active silicon. This enables our battery to deliver up to 110% more energy capacity than the standard lithium-ion batteries in mobile devices today. #BatteryInnovation #Batteries #PoweringTheFuture

How are we unique? Our 3D physical battery design can improve the packing efficiency of the active materials in the battery, as well as accommodate the use of a 100% active silicon anode. #PoweringTheFuture #Batteries #BatteryInnovation

We've gone above and beyond to overcome #supplychain challenges. We chartered an #Antonov An-124, one of the world’s largest cargo planes, to move critical equipment to our Fremont, CA factory. Check out how we did it and see the massive plane land at SFO vimeo.com/543244638

Congratulations to our own Dr. Raji Chandrasekaran who is presenting today as part of the @EcsPurdue #WIESE webinar series. #WomenInSTEM #WomeninScience #lithium #batteries

@SFGiants So much for catching the Giants on our family DC trip!
