Energy geeks and green warriors, listen up! On Wednesday, the first large-scale sodium-ion battery energy storage station on the Chinese mainland officially kicked off its expanded operation in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. 🚀
Thanks to its second-phase upgrade, the Fulin station can now charge and discharge up to 600 times a year. That’s enough to funnel roughly 30 million kilowatt-hours of wind and solar power into the grid annually—talk about a renewable flex! 🌬️☀️
The perks aren’t just technical: by tapping into this clean energy reservoir, the project cuts carbon dioxide emissions by about 13,500 tonnes per year. In practical terms, that’s enough juice to light up around 20,000 houses across the region. 🏠💡
With stats like these, sodium-ion storage is an electrifying step toward a greener future. Keep an eye on Fulin and similar projects powering our planet! 🔋🌎
