At 1StartupWorld, a pinnacle gathering for the startup ecosystem's elite, FeX Energy, under the leadership of Founder and CEO Hayden Smith, illuminated the future of energy storage and decarbonization. In a presentation that transcended mere technological discourse, Smith outlined a strategic blueprint for tackling the pressing energy trilemma of reliability, affordability, and sustainability. By harnessing the untapped potential of iron for energy storage, FeX Energy is pioneering a solution poised to redefine energy norms and assert itself as a vanguard in the clean energy movement. Originating from groundbreaking research at McGill University's leading alternative fuels lab, FeX Energy's innovative approach leverages iron's inherent qualities to offer a robust, scalable, and cost-effective alternative to conventional energy sources. This breakthrough aligns seamlessly with market demands and environmental goals, aiming to counteract the inconsistencies plaguing renewable energy with a solution that is both pragmatic and revolutionary. Addressing the challenges of energy supply and demand, Smith highlighted the imperative for long-duration energy storage solutions, emphasizing the role of FeX Energy's technology in stabilizing the grid and facilitating a sustainable energy future. The conversation with Glenn Tyranski further delved into FeX Energy's scalable business model, underscoring the strategic partnerships and pilot projects that form the foundation of its market penetration strategy. FeX Energy's proposition stands out for its potential to drive significant cost savings and carbon emission reductions, presenting a compelling case for industry stakeholders and utilities. This is further supported by the broader environmental and societal benefits, resonating with global decarbonization efforts. The showcase at 1StartupWorld represents a pivotal moment for FeX Energy, highlighting the intersection of innovation, strategic foresight, and commitment to sustainability. As the company advances from concept towards commercialization, it epitomizes the transformative leadership and innovation crucial for navigating the complexities of the modern energy landscape. This journey not only reflects the entrepreneurial spirit driving the clean energy revolution but also underscores the potential of visionary thinking to catalyze significant environmental and economic progress. https://lnkd.in/eKWmb2SD #climatechange #greentech #cleanenergy #environmental

Swedish start-up Eneryield, a portfolio company of Chalmers Ventures, has closed a seed funding round as part of plans to expand its AI-powered solution for grid operators. Eneryield secured the new investment from ABB and Chalmers Ventures. Eneryield was spun out in 2019 from Chalmers University of Technology. Eneryield’s technology is designed to analyse and predict overloads and faults, helping grid operators resolve the problem without disrupting the power supply. “With support from strategic investors like ABB and Chalmers Ventures, we are ready to take our solution to the market,” said Dr. Ebrahim Balouji (Ph.D, Ph.D), CEO of Eneryield. “Seeing our research fields combined and come to life as a commercial product is motivating to say the least. Our timing is perfect with the growing demand for green energy and the world’s economic and security situation; the need for local, smart energy grid solutions is growing rapidly, and we are ready to meet that demand.” Sami Raitakoski, Grid Components Global Product Group Manager from ABB’s Electrification Distribution Solution, added:?“The portfolio synergies between ABB and Eneryield will help create one of the most advanced prediction systems for power networks. “Combining Eneryield’s AI analytics with ABB relays and centralised or virtualised protection and control systems will result in improved accuracy and better maintenance planning for utility and industry customers. The early warning gives the grid operator the time needed to take necessary actions to avoid faults and outages, resulting in better grid reliability and reduced operational costs.” #cleanenergy

EDP Ventures is investing in Chilean Startup paving the way in AI for renewable energy systems. Did you know that despite the rapid growth of renewable energy, a significant portion of it is still lost due to lack of optimization of networks, generation assets, and storage systems? To tackle this challenge, we’re joining forces with Splight, a startup specializing in AI applied to renewable energy systems. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning, Splight's innovative solutions optimize operations in real-time, without the need for additional hardware. This marks EDP’s first investment in a Latin American startup outside of Brazil, reinforcing our commitment to pioneering innovation in renewable energy across the region.
