The company reports an efficiency exceeding 75%, a service life of more than 10,000 cycles, and a levelized cost of storage (LCOS) that is \u201csignificantly lower than dominant technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe cost is \u20ac0.02 per kWh per cycle, which is very competitive compared to current commercial solutions such as lithium batteries,\u201d Matteo Mazzotta, CEO of the Trentino-based company, told&nbsp;<strong>pv magazine Italia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GES added that the battery is expected to become commercially available in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are in discussions with several parties interested in initial installations and, more broadly, we see strong market demand that we aim to meet as soon as possible with our product,\u201d Mazzotta said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to GES, manganese is the core chemistry of the battery. The material was chosen due to its abundance, established production chain \u2013 both in Italy and across Europe \u2013 cost-effectiveness, and low environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe manganese-hydrogen battery developed by GES represents an advanced solution for long-duration energy storage,\u201d the company stated in a press release. \u201cThe technology enables energy to be stored for many hours or even days, overcoming the structural limitations of lithium-ion batteries, which are primarily designed for short-duration applications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery stores energy in the form of self-produced hydrogen and is based on a flow architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom a technological standpoint, the GES battery features a flow-based structure that decouples energy and power, allowing storage capacity and power output to be sized independently,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GES reported collaborating with RINA on technology validation and engineering optimization, with De Nora on testing platforms, Manica on chemical production, and Fraunhofer on research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presentation ceremony took place at the Trentino Sviluppo Agency of the Autonomous Province of Trento, which is dedicated to promoting the sustainable development of the regional economic system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to GES, the manganese-hydrogen battery it has developed represents an advanced solution for long-duration&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1146,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company","category-tech"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1145"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1145\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1147,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1145\/revisions\/1147"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.esplaza.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
