World leaders attending COP29 next month have been encouraged to sign a pledge to collectively increase global energy storage capacity to 1,500GW by 2030.
KORE Power CEO Lindsay Gorrill speaks with ESN Premium about the US startup’s manufacturing plans, why NMC won’t go away anytime soon, and where he thinks the BESS market is going.
In the rapidly growing but still relatively new battery energy storage sector, equipment procurement and integration for large projects presents numerous risks.
Supply chain risk platform Infyos discusses its research into forced and child labour in the battery supply chain, suppliers risk of exposure to it and what business risks that could entail for those in the ESS industry – particularly around the EU Batteries Regulation.
Three-quarters of the lithium-ion battery supply chain could have exposure to forced labour, contravening US and EU laws and potentially leading to products being blocked from those markets, a report said.
