Power grid operators worldwide typically rely on running coal and natural gas-fired power plants to maintain what is called a spinning reserve, or excess capacity, that can respond quickly and provide grid services.Using the data centre’s batteries to offer these services reduces the need to maintain spinning reserves at power plants, which lowers power sector carbon emissions.The batteries are part of what’s called the uninterruptible power supply, or UPS, for the datacenter. This includes new technology that enables real-time interaction with the electric power grid.If grid-interactive UPS systems replace the grid services currently provided by fossil fuel power plants. JLM covers the advanced new battery chemistries for spike demand in Data Centers due to AI requirements, a TRILLION dollar market.
Microsoft (MSFT) plans to invest $80B into data centres this year because it can’t keep up with demand from its cloud-computing business and to support its growing AI endeavours.
That’s the takeaway from the company's recent announcement concerning slower-than-expected growth in its Azure cloud-computing platform. And this is a problem not isolated to Microsoft. The demand spike brought on by AI is an issue plaguing the entire sector and will have ripple effects through the entire economy in the coming years. All told, Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG), Meta (META), Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft have earmarked close to half a trillion in new data center projects to support growth in artificial intelligence and cloud computing capacity.
Why Do Data Centers Use Batteries?
Backup Power from 30 seconds to a long duration 48 hours
Reduce carbon footprint
Batteries can help reduce their reliance on diesel generators, a major carbon emission source. Become carbon-negative, water-positive, and zero waste by 2030 for most Fortune 500
Improve energy efficiency
Batteries can help improve the energy efficiency of its data centres.
Balance the power grid
Batteries can help balance the power grid when renewable energy sources like wind and solar fluctuate.
Backup with Natural Gas switching from off-peak hours & peak sharing with electric providers
Grid-interactive batteries
These batteries can interact with the power grid to provide energy when needed.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
BESS systems that can provide longer-duration backup power.

NEXTECH BATTERIES, INC
Carson City, Nevada 89706
Founded in 2016 to leverage Li-S energy storage technology developed at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories into production. The corporation is venture-capital backed and privately funded, conducting internal research and development programs to enable LiS chemistry through production. With the successful implementation of NexTech’s current Li-S chemistry, the company is under contract with the California State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to design and demonstrate a grid-integrated battery energy storage system that utilises the unique Li-S battery cell at a utility-scale. In addition, it designs, develops, and fabricates a compatible battery management system to demonstrate and verify the performance data. The project scales up the Li-S battery module system into a grid-integrated system to install, commission, monitor, and collect performance data.

FLOW ALUMINUM INC.
101 Broadway Blvd NE, Suite 1100. Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87120
Flow Aluminium was born out of research conducted at the University of New Mexico, and we are proud to have developed a battery chemistry that eliminates the need for rare earth minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, or graphite. Our Aluminum-CO2 battery is not only low-cost and non-flammable but also offers unparalleled performance with a projected specific energy twice that of lithium-ion batteries.
One of the most remarkable features of our battery is its ability to operate effectively in a wide range of temperatures, from -40°C to 60°C, making it ideal for a variety of applications, including those in extreme environments. This exceptional performance has attracted the attention of NASA, further validating the potential of our technology.
In addition to its impressive technical capabilities, our aluminium-CO2 battery also addresses environmental concerns by capturing carbon in a grid format during operation, contributing to efforts to combat climate change.
At Flow Aluminum, we have assembled a strong team of experts to drive our technology to market success. We are privileged to have Bob Galyen, founder of CATL, as an advisor, bringing invaluable industry experience and insights to our team. Furthermore, Dr. Wei, one of the foremost experts on batteries in the country, is leading our research and development efforts, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of battery innovation.

PURE HYDROGEN CORPORATION LIMITED
119 Willoughby Road Crows Nest NSW 2065 Australia
Pure Hydrogen (ASX: PH2) is building a network of clean hydrogen production facilities across Australia while supplying the market with multiple fuel cell products such as speciality trucks, generators, MG Electrolyzers and Energy Storage.
-Turquoise Hydrogen is produced through a process known as methane pyrolysis, using natural gas and just 12.5% of the electricity required for electrolysis
-Green Hydrogen is produced by electrolysis, using water and renewable electricity.Renewable energy is used to power an electrolyser that splits hydrogen from water molecules. This process creates "green hydrogen," which results in no carbon emissions. Green and blue are two colors used to classify hydrogen by its production method and emissions profile.
Pure Hydrogen and its partners have launched a range of hydrogen fuel cell power generation units that can be used for backup power or continuous electricity supply for industries/communities dependent on diesel generators ( In the MW range )
