Enervenue, a US supplier of metal hydrogen energy storage systems, and RWE, a German-owned global electricity producer, have entered into a purchase agreement for a pilot project at RWE's Milwaukee-area testing facility. The deal involves the delivery of Energy Storage Vessels (ESVs) designed for the storage of renewable energy. Andrea Hu-Bianco, SVP of Engineering at RWE Clean Energy, expressed optimism about the potential of grid-scale energy storage technologies to meet the growing demand for energy. The ESVs, based on technology used by NASA for over 30 years, are highlighted for their long lifespan, safety features, and flexibility in installation. Enervenue claims that the metal-hydrogen technology in ESVs offers significant advantages over traditional lithium-ion chemistries, including lower operational costs and a longer cycle life. RWE's interest in ESVs is part of its broader strategy to expand battery storage systems globally, with plans to reach 6GW of capacity by 2030. The company sees the pilot project as an opportunity to evaluate innovative battery technologies, including metal-hydrogen, as it continues to drive sustainability and innovation in its operations.
