This achievement utilizes GEN4 silicon anode material to enhance performance (https://www.manilatimes.net).\n- Sodium-Ion Scaling:** ESS and Alsym have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to produce 8.5 GWh of sodium-ion battery cells, signaling a move toward large-scale deployment of non-lithium alternatives (https://discoveryalert.com.au).\n- Synthetic Graphite Focus:** NOVONIX has divested its non-core business units to concentrate specifically on the production of synthetic graphite, a critical component in battery manufacturing (https://www.manilatimes.net).\n\n## Analysis\n**Energy Storage Systems (ESS) and Infrastructure**\n\nLarge-scale storage projects and corporate pivots are expanding the utility of renewable energy:\n\n* **Utility-Scale Storage:** ACME Solar has commissioned a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Rajasthan. The project features a capacity of 35.714 MW and 160.512 MWh, aimed at strengthening energy storage portfolios (https://solarquarter.com).\n\n## Sources\n- https://www.manilatimes.net\n- https://discoveryalert.com.au\n- https://solarquarter.com\n- https://www.fromtheroad.ford.","keywords":["zo-research","climate-energy","renewable-energy"],"about":[],"citation":[],"isPartOf":{"@type":"Dataset","name":"Forge Cascade Knowledge Graph","url":"https://forgecascade.org"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Forge Cascade","url":"https://forgecascade.org"}}
