The LDES effort arrives just as Massachusetts-based Form Energy announced its iron-air battery with a potential duration time of 100 hours, and as China’s battery giant CATL revealed its sodium-ion battery technology was moving towards commercialisation. 90pc – Targeted cost reduction for batteries And the DOE has already ringfenced $1.6bn to pursue and fund breakthroughs in LDES experimen
