Researchers from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories measured more than 100 locations at Elkhorn Slough, an expanse of sensitive marshes just north of the plant, and found high levels of nickel, cobalt and manganese on the top of the soil all metals contained in the thousands of lithium-ion batteries that burned and which were spread in microscopic pieces through the billowing smoke that poured from the fire.

If you add in nuclear, then the US has reached a grid that is 40 percent emissions-free over the first nine months of 2025. That's up only 1 percent compared to the same period the year prior. And because coal emits more carbon than natural gas, it's likely the US will see a net increase in electricity-related emissions this year.

Located in Germany's Lusatia region, the upcoming energy storage facility will have a capacity of 4 gigawatt-hours of energy and will be able to take in a maximum power input of 1 gigawatt. That's the equivalent of 100 million 10-watt LED lights being turned on at the same time. Or 4,000 Tesla EVs charging at the same time, all peaking at 250 kilowatts.

Tesla Energy held its top position in the global battery energy storage system integrator market for the second consecutive year, capturing 15% of global market share in 2024.

The Smart Charging Cube, offered by MAN Truck & Bus in partnership with AW Automotive, is designed for charging electric trucks and buses in various locations.

BM2Solar focuses on increasing the profitability of independent power producers' solar power plants by integrating battery storage without requiring upfront investment.
