Sodium-ion batteries are set to spark a renewable energy revolution – and Australia must be ready – ET Auto

Baua Electric

But a new way to firm up the world’s electricity grids is fast developing: sodium-ion batteries. This emerging energy storage technology could be a game-changer – enabling our grids to run on 100% renewables. At present, lithium-ion batteries are the primary storage technology but are best for short-term storage.
