Australian startup Green Gravity has secured AU$9 million in Series A capital funding to complete product development of its gravity-based energy storage technology.
Two startups presenting gravity-based energy storage technologies for commercialisation have signed partnerships with major players in engineering and mining.
Gravity and kinetic energy storage startup Energy Vault and ‘thermal pumped hydro’ startup Malta Inc have both said this week that their technologies could be set for gigawatt-hour scale deployments.
Special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Novus Capital Corporation II chose to merge with novel gravity and kinetic energy-based storage Energy Vault after receiving target proposals from more than 100 different firms.
Energy Vault, a Swiss maker of energy storage systems based around gravity, has made its technology commercially available, with India’s Tata Power expected to be the first customer.
