The energy transition is super charged! Investment in the US clean energy sector is soaring. In Q1 and Q2 2024 investment reached $147B, in comparison to $141B in all of 2022. The incentives of the Inflation Reduction Act IRA, which saw its two year anniversary last week, have played a significant role in this acceleration. At e-Zinc, our vision is to provide clean, reliable, and affordable energy for all. Incentives such as IRA not only accelerate the energy transition and drive significant growth in sectors like solar, wind, and long-duration energy storage, but also create new economic opportunities, and bridge the economic divide to foster inclusive growth. We’re excited to be part of this transformative shift and to contribute to a more sustainable future.

Renewables = Resilience Renewable energy, often considered a key climate solution, is also proving to be a crucial component of grid resilience. The recent rainstorm in Toronto, Canada highlighted the vulnerability of centralized power systems, with multiple parts of the city experiencing outages due to the quantity and intensity of rain. Decentralized renewable energy sources like solar and wind, combined with long-duration energy storage, can significantly enhance grid reliability and protect critical infrastructure to mitigate some of the power outage risks of centralized grids. As cities worldwide grapple with increasing frequency and severity of storms, investing in renewable energy and storage is not just about sustainability, but also about building robust energy infrastructure to future-proof cities. Here at e-Zinc we are developing a long-duration energy storage solution that performs reliably in these kind of disruptive scenarios. If you are looking to build more resilience into your energy supply, contact our commercial team to learn more.

Texas and California have been making headlines with the scale of energy storage deployment this year. As a Canadian based start-up, we’re thrilled to see Canada picking up the pace in this sector that is paramount to reaching global decarbonisation goals. This overview from pv magazine Global looks at how Canada is kicking battery storage deployment into gear. Highlights: 👉 The deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS) is rapidly increasing, with a major 705 MWh system coming to Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan's first utility-scale BESS project going online last week. 👉 These are significant steps towards Canada's renewable energy goals, with Nova Scotia aiming for 80% renewables by 2030. Battery storage will play a key role in grid stability and reliability as we integrate more solar and wind power. While this progress is significant, there's room for even faster growth. At e-Zinc we're doing our part by bringing to market a zinc based long duration energy storage technology that can provide energy for up to multiple days and uses a globally abundant material as the base for our technology. Get in touch to learn more about our solution, and let's accelerate the transition together! Read full story here -> https://lnkd.in/eQ4NzZ-q #Canada #energytransition #energystorage
