Batteries can be turned on and off within a fraction of a second, allowing them to convert stored energy into electricity and provide instant power when needed. They can be used in situations where a large amount of power is required. Batteries can also team up with other forms of energy generation, switching themselves on instantaneously when necessary. Big batteries can function for short bursts but can also be used for medium and long-term storage.
Current compact battery designs depend quite heavily on critical minerals such as lithium, but this is changing. Australian-made batteries that use innovative designs and solutions are already powering production here and around the world.
Batteries provide important backup electricity for telecommunications, public transport and hospitals. Whether it’s a phone battery, home battery, community scale battery or a ‘big’ power plant battery, the fundamental purpose is the same.
Our Hunter Energy Evolution video series showcases the cutting-edge innovations and potential of the Hunter region's businesses in the cleantech space. 3ME Technology is one of these power players leading the way.
We have the cleantech ready to scale up so that we can speed up deployment to accelerate Australia towards a zero-emissions economy.
The Cleantech Showcase lists examples of projects that are capable of propelling us towards a prosperous, zero emissions Australia.
This list is not exhaustive and many more comparable projects may exist.
