Longi’s First Finland Battery Goes Live as Nordic Storage Race Heats Up

Longi Green Energy Technology has launched its first Finnish battery energy storage system, a 2 MW/4 MWh unit at the Söderby Solpark solar site in the Åland Islands. The system, designed for sub-zero conditions, integrates with a 4 MW solar plant and can restart local power after outages. Grid operator Fingrid reports 1,050 MW of storage now connected nationwide. Finland is tightening rules for battery grid integration as storage demand rises.

Fusion Energy Frenzy: Are We Closer Than Ever to Unlimited Clean Power?

China’s EAST tokamak set a world record in January 2025, sustaining high-performance fusion plasma for 1,066 seconds. ITER in France, funded by 33 countries, targets first plasma in 2035 but faces delays and cost overruns. The US NIF achieved fusion ignition in December 2022. Net power from fusion remains unproven, despite recent milestones.

Perovskite Solar ‘Stickers’ Are Almost Here: How Flexible Laminates Could Turn Walls, Cars & Roofs into Power Plants

A flexible perovskite module with WVTR ≈ 5.0 × 10⁻³ g/m²/day retained 84% of its power after 2,000 hours at 85°C/85% RH. Japan is subsidizing Sekisui Chemical to build a 100 MW film-type perovskite plant by 2027. A Chinese startup unveiled a 1.2 m × 1.6 m flexible module rated 260–300 W and weighing 2.04 kg. Several manufacturers have passed IEC reliability tests for flexible perovskite modules.

In late 2022, UK researchers transfused lab-grown red blood cells into humans for the first time. The cost per unit dropped below $5,000 but remains higher than donated blood. In December 2024, the FDA approved Humacyte’s lab-grown blood vessel graft for trauma repair. Over 100,000 people in the U.S. await organ transplants; nearly 20 die daily.

Data Centers Are Power Hogs—These Technologies Are Finally Fixing That

AWS says its Graviton3 processors use 60% less energy than typical x86 cloud chips and now power over half of new AWS servers. Google’s TPUs deliver up to 30 times more performance per watt than GPUs for some AI tasks. Liquid cooling captures up to 80% of chip heat, with over half of new hyperscale servers expected to use it by 2027. MIT researchers cut AI job carbon footprints by up to 90% using smart scheduling tools.

Eco-Tech Titans: How Global Companies Are Leading the Green Computing Revolution in 2025

Digital technology generates 2-4% of global carbon emissions, with projections reaching 14% by 2040 if trends continue. Data centers use up to 1.5% of the world’s electricity. Major tech firms including Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple, and others have set targets for net-zero emissions and increased renewable energy use, with several already powering operations with 100% renewable energy in multiple regions.

  • Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS) Valuation Review After MARSS Acquisition
    May 24, 2026, 2:48 PM EDT. Electro Optic Systems Holdings (ASX:EOS) completed its acquisition of MARSS Group, becoming an integrated player in counter drone systems for defence and security. The share price rose 14.58% over 90 days to A$8.88, following an A$8.00 capital raise. Analysts show a wide price target range, from A$1.58 to A$5.70, with a consensus near A$4.36. Market valuation narrowly exceeds the fair value estimate of A$8.83, suggesting a finely balanced outlook. A discounted cash flow model offers a higher valuation of A$17.63, indicating a potential steep discount. Key risks include uncertain defence spending and competitive pressures in counter drone markets. Investors face mixed signals on growth potential and valuation in this defence tech sector move.
