Congrats to @mateojaramill and our friends at @FormEnergyInc. Li-ion will dominate the 4-hour grid market, but longer duration needed a breakthrough and Form delivered. The tech is highly scalable, which is critical for science to have an impact. 🔋🚀⚡️

Unhappy but important reporting on solar supply chain exposure to coal-intensive Xinjiang production. As it scales, the #energytransition won’t run out of need for investment in better solutions. @BloombergNEF bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
