The power surge fueled by the AI boom is driving the adoption of novel battery storage technologies into mainstream. Form Energy will provide its multi-day storage technology to data center developer Crusoe, and Redwood Materials, another energy storage company, in an announcement at CERAWeek by S&P Global in Houston. This follows several other deals, including a significant one with Form and Google. Both executives believe these deals could accelerate broader adoption of new energy technologies. The race for power is driving investment in energy technologies, including traditional natural gas and fusion. However, there are challenges ahead for scaling up.
