Australia’s Altech secures permit to build sodium-ion battery factory in Germany
The German subsidiary of the Perth-based sodium chloride solid-state battery specialist is moving ahead with its plans to build a 120 MWh production plant in Saxony, Germany. The project is expected to amount to around €156 million ($170 million).
Dutch start-up develops sodium-ion battery tech for solar colocation
Founded by former Tesla leaders, Amsterdam-based Moonwatt is taking a novel approach to sodium-ion battery technology, optimizing it for colocation with solar power plants. The company has raised $8.3 million in seed funding to accelerate its growth, with plans for a pilot installation in Europe next year and commericial deployments by 2027.
Czech company to provide cathode material to U.S. sodium-ion maker Natron Energy
Prussian blue material manufactured by Draslovka will become part of Natron’s sodium-ion battery supply chain. The Czech company plans to build new facilities on both sides of the Atlantics to supply the U.S. company's production.
Sodium-ion vs. lithium-iron-phosphate batteries
Researchers in Germany have compared the electrical behaviour of sodium-ion batteries with that of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries under varying temperatures and state-of-charges. Their work shows how state-of-charge during cycling significantly affects the efficiency of sodium-ion devices.

Natron Energy to build gigawatt-scale sodium-ion battery plant in North Carolina
The new planned manufacturing facility will produce 24 GW of Natron’s sodium-ion batteries annually. Natron says its batteries outperform lithium-ion batteries in power density and recharging speed, do not require lithium, cobalt, copper, or nickel, and are non-flammable. The plant will be the first double-digit GW sodium-ion plant in the USA.
50MW/100MWh Sodium-ion ESS goes online in China with string PCS MV stations
In the Hubei province in China, 50MW/100MWh is just the first phase of the sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) project spearheaded by Sineng Electric. The project should eventually have a storage capacity of 100MW/200MWh. The initial capacity has already been connected to the grid and begun operations, able to supply power to around 12,000 households for a whole day.
