Zinc battery innovator Eos Energy and alternative investment giant Cerberus Capital have announced plans to create a new entity, Frontier Power USA.The new firm will lean on each company’s respective expertise to accelerate gigawatt-scale deployment of American-made energy storage for AI data center, commercial and industrial, and utility-scale energy storage projects. Read the announcement, and visit Eos’s official Frontier Power page.
Invinity on Track for Europe’s Largest VFB
Invinity Energy Systems has completed delivery of 20.7 MWh of vanadium flow batteries to the Copwood VFB Energy Hub, set to enter service this year. The “super battery” is on track to be Europe’s largest VFB buildout. Read the announcement.
GP Energy Tech’s Solve for Alkaline Dissolution
Researchers from GP Energy Tech’s GP Technology & Innovation Limited, in collaboration with Georgia Institute of Technology, have developed a novel “seed-in-nanoshell” anode design that turns dissolution in alkaline zinc batteries – a once-irreversible degradation pathway – into a recoverable process. Read the summary on LinkedIn, and access the full paper in ACG Energy Letters.
Aqueous in China’s Battery Future
Aqueous and flow batteries are crucial to China’s five year battery advancement plan. So explains Shirley Meng, Director of Energy Storage Research Alliance ESRA Hub at Argonne National Laboratory and a professor at the University of Chicago, in a recent post on LinkedIn.

With R-Zinc and BCI just finished, we’re sharing a few round-ups from the event.
Consortiums Bridge the Science-Deployment Gap
One BCI 2026 panel – featuring leaders from BCI, CleanTech Strategies, Sandia National Laboratories, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory – discussed how consortium-led research programs can bridge the gap between science and deployment. Insights included how know-how can matter more than IP, and the crucial place of cultural alignment. Read the takeaways in BEST Magazine.
Where Does Zinc Excel?
Camelot Energy Group’s Raafe Khan: “Stop asking what zinc batteries can do, and start asking what problems they solve that other technologies don’t solve as well.” Octet’s Chief Commercial Officer Emily Dickens explains why that quote is key to understanding the R-Zinc conference in a recent LinkedIn post.
Lead-Acid’s Critical Moment
Silicon Joule CEO Ray Kubis spoke of the “technology squeeze” shaping the do-or-die moment for lead-acid manufacturers in the data center space. In a separate LinkedIn post, Dickens describes why that quote is a window into BCI – and innovation in lead-acid overall. Read why.

Lead-Acid’s Data Center Edge
Targeted electrolyte changes can help Lead-Acid fims hit lower TCO and slow aging — even in pH <1 and halide environments — a huge advantage in the growing data center market. Read how in Octet’s latest post.
