AEMO: ''Urgent need'' to invest in long-duration energy storage
Battery storage durations are gradually increasing from 1-hour to 2-hours and in some cases 4-hours, but hardly any long-duration resources, broadly defined as about 8-hour durations or more. Coal still accounted for roughly 60% of generation in the NEM as late as the middle of 2021, but most coal is set to be retired by the early 2030s.

Contenders: Long duration energy storage technologies, and
Speaking on a panel at this year''s Solar & Storage Live event in the UK, NGK''s business development head Gauthier Dupont said that NAS batteries and other promising – or even proven – long duration technologies may not currently get the headlines, but if they are to compete, they certainly need to start getting the investment that
Congo cobalt: TikTokers quit vaping over mining concerns
DR Congo, a central African country, is the world''s main source of cobalt, a key component of the lithium-ion batteries used in mobile phones, electric vehicles and many models of e-cigarette.
DR Congo''s Lithium Reserves
In fact, DR Congo is already responsible for producing 60% of the world''s cobalt, which is an essential component of lithium-ion batteries. Some of the key players in DR Congo''s lithium mining sector include: AVZ Minerals: Developing the Manono Lithium-Tin Project. Mining companies operating under the country''s mining code.
