In 2024 alone, the U.S. has deployed enough renewable projects to be equivalent to 30 Hoover Dams, a fantastic comparis from Jeff Marootian from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) EERE during the Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s Global Energy and Industry Event. Brett Simon, Director of Commercial Strategy at e-Zinc, attended the Thursday event as a part of Climate Week in NYC. The gathering, centered on the urgent need to decarbonize the U.S. by 2030, a goal set at last year’s COP, featured discussions on ambitious topics like 3x renewables, zero-emission transportation, securing sustainable financing, and achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century. Notable takeaways from the event included: 📈 Clean energy is rising: Electricity from zero-carbon sources, like solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear, already accounted for 41% of global electricity generation in 2023. 💥 Progress is accelerating: The U.S. is making significant strides in renewable energy, with 2024 setting a high bar for deployment of projects. Jeff Marootian drew an impactful comparis of this achievement to being equivalent to 30 Hoover Dams. ✋ Permitting and interconnection remain major obstacles: Despite incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act, permitting challenges have driven up the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for U.S. offshore wind by a staggering 60% between 2021 and 2024. Additionally, over 1 terawatt of renewable projects are currently stuck in interconnection queues. e-Zinc is committed to decarbonizing the energy sector through our innovative zinc-air battery solutions. Our team is energised by the discussions and insights at these kind of events, that help to align our commercialization strategy with the dynamic demands of the energy transition.

“The IRA is a downpayment, but more effort is needed to decarbonize the U.S.” Jon Ødegård Hansen (pictured), Rystad Energy’s VP of Global Energy Systems, stated at Rystad Energy’s Clean Energy Forum. Brett Simon, e-Zinc’s Director of Commercial Strategy, attended the event as part of NYC Clean Energy Week. The forum highlighted the surging momentum behind clean energy initiatives, including renewable energy, hydrogen, and energy storage. Key takeaways from the forum include: 💫 Clean Energy Momentum: behind clean energy legislation and IRA will persist regardless of the outcome of the U.S. election in November. 🌳 State-Level Growth: Traditionally "red" states have seen significant IRA funding, and Texas is poised to surpass California as the nation's leading solar state by year-end. ✍ Urgent Need for Action: While the IRA is a crucial step, more aggressive decarbonization efforts to achieve a net-zero future is needed. e-Zinc is committed to playing a crucial role in the energy transition. As the demand for clean energy continues to grow, our innovative zinc-air battery technology has the potential to make a significant contribution to achieving a sustainable and decarbonized energy future.

Another eventful day at Climate Week NYC! Our team had to chance to meet with several energy investors, including Evan Cohen from our partner Toyota Ventures. There is a lot of optimism and enthusiasm about supporting clean energy initiatives, especially impact unlocking technologies such as long-duration energy storage (LDES). Just a few years ago LDES was off the radar for most investors, today we're thrilled to see it as a key feature of almost every event. A big shout out to all our strategic investors for supporting our innovative technology, Anzu Partners, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Evok Innovations, BDC, Export Development Canada | Exportation et développement Canada, Eni Next, and Earth Foundry Interested in connecting during Climate Week NYC and learning more about e-Zinc's technology?

Climate Week NYC - Day 1: e-Zinc's CCO and Executive Lead US Expansion, Balakrishnan Iyer, joined an engaging panel along Anouck Champsaur, Bruce Douglas, Doug Moorehead, Eddie Rich, Hayley Gillooly, Julia Souder, and Sasha Stashwick 🇺🇦 hosted by the Long Duration Energy Storage Council (LDES Council) at MN8 Energy's offices. The panel engaged on recent global renewables and energy storage targets, and the upcoming UN COP summit where further action must be taken, developing market mechanisms specific to valuing the reliability offering of LDES technologies, and the public private partnerships needed to accelerate the industry. Balki specifically mentioned that: "Non-lithium, long duration energy storage technologies present a unique opportunity for the U.S. to generate long-term, green, manufacturing jobs. This starts in the high schools, the community colleges, and in workforce development to build and deploy these new technologies."

🤓 Exciting insights about the future of long-duration energy storage 🔋 Brett Simon, Director of Commercial Strategy at e-Zinc, attended the LDES National Consortium (DOE) Workshop last week with other leaders in the long duration energy storage (LDES) space. Brett's key insights from the event: 💫 Momentum for LDES is building. Interest and optimism in the technology continues to grow with palpable excitement about its potential to play a key role in the energy transition. 💫 Equity is a cornerstone of LDES. This often-overlooked aspect of technology innovation was widely discussed, opening up new possibilities for measuring the value of LDES beyond purely economic metrics. 💫 Regulations are evolving. Market and interconnection rules continue to be the main hurdles to overcome to properly incentivize LDES adoption. At the end of the conference, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s LDES Tiger Teams released their report, offering valuable recommendations. These insights will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the future of LDES policy in the United States.
