German energy company RWE has announced a partnership with EnerVenue to conduct a pilot project in Milwaukee, United States, testing EnerVenue's metal-hydrogen batteries for data collection purposes. The pilot project will focus on validating the energy storage vessels' cycling flexibility, charge and discharge characteristics, duration, temperature performance, and efficiency. EnerVenue's metal-hydrogen batteries are designed to have over 30,000 cycles and can be cycled up to three times per day without needing rest. The company claims that these batteries are more readily recyclable than lithium-ion batteries, making them sustainable and environmentally responsible. RWE plans to leverage the data collected from the pilot project to potentially integrate EnerVenue's technology into future applications. Andrea Hu-Bianco, Senior Vice-President of Engineering at RWE Clean Energy, expressed optimism about the potential of grid-scale energy storage with safer, flexible, and durable solutions to meet the increasing energy demand. EnerVenue's Chief Technology Officer, Majid Keshavarz, highlighted the technology's capabilities in driving clean energy expansion and enhancing grid resilience for large-scale renewable energy projects. In addition to their superior durability and recyclability, EnerVenue's next-generation metal-hydrogen batteries offer increased energy storage capacity, improved materials efficiency, enhanced energy density, and better nominal power performance. The collaboration between RWE and EnerVenue aims to explore innovative and sustainable solutions for clean energy projects. This pilot project signifies a step towards achieving clean energy goals by evaluating the performance of metal-hydrogen technology in grid-scale energy storage.
