The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) will award $8 million to help develop or commercialize 19 advanced energy storage projects. The 19 projects, which include two lithium-air efforts, will leverage $7.3 Industry-Led Commercialization Partnerships: $4.8 million in funding.
