Powering a Sustainable Future with BLUETTI Solar Solutions

SYDNEY, AU / ACN Newswire / September 22, 2023 /In today’s rapidly changing world, the importance of protecting our environment and embracing sustainable living practices has become more evident than ever before. The undeniable impacts of climate change, including escalating greenhouse gases, rising sea levels, warmer oceans, and increasing ocean acidity, underscore the urgent need for action.

Embracing Clean Energy in a Changing Climate

The prevailing use of fossil fuels is the prime driver behind climate change, necessitating a transition towards renewable energy sources. Among these, solar energy is an accessible and economical alternative to traditional fuels. With just a few solar panels on rooftops or balconies, everyone can harness clean and free solar power whenever the sun shines. This transformation is easier than one might imagine-some adventurous souls even outfit their recreational vehicles with solar panels to revel in reliable power on the move.

However, relying solely on a solar system may not guarantee uninterrupted power during overcast days or grid outages. This is where BLUETTI comes in as a pioneer in the energy storage sector, offering game-changing solutions designed to store excess solar energy for overnight or emergency use, and capable of providing both AC and DC power to a wide range of devices.

BLUETTI: A Commitment to Green Innovation

BLUETTI is dedicated to advancing clean energy technology and promoting a sustainable way of life. The very essence of BLUETTI’s name reflects its core values: the “BLUE” sky it strives to protect, the promise of “Tomorrow” driven by technology, and the spirit of “Innovation.” Through a strong commitment to empowering communities and individuals with clean energy solutions, BLUETTI envisions a future where green energy is accessible to all, fostering both sustainability and innovation.

At the heart of BLUETTI’s offerings lies the use of eco-friendly Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. Compared to lead-acid batteries, they are inherently stable and non-combustible and free from outgassing, fumes, and leaks. Their life span is up to ten times that of lead-acid batteries, giving a lengthy service life of up to 3,500 cycles and minimal maintenance costs. What’s more, BLUETTI’s products are uniquely made to seamlessly integrate solar charging both from its folding panels and other brands. A standout illustration of this approach is embodied by the AC300 system, renowned for its versatility and efficiency.

BLUETTI AC300 System: Empowering Sustainable Living

The AC300 system has garnered widespread acclaim for its ability to facilitate power outage preparedness and promote a greener lifestyle. This system serves as a responsive UPS, instantly supplying 3,000W power to essential appliances within a mere 20 milliseconds of a grid failure. This swift response safeguards vital data and sustains daily routines without interruption.

One of the AC300’s standout features is its modular structure, accommodating one to four B300 batteries. This flexibility translates to a capacity range of 3,072Wh to an impressive 12,288Wh. Households could tailor their backup systems to their specific needs. For those equipped with diverse solar arrays, a personalized battery configuration can store surplus solar energy for nighttime use or emergencies. Notably, the AC300 system can harness solar energy at a maximum rate of 2,400W during daylight hours, efficiently fueling the AC300+B300 system in just 1.8 to 2.3 hours.

This 3,072Wh setup can power a spectrum of appliances. For instance, it can run an 800W refrigerator for 3 hours, a 1,500W heater for 1.7 hours, and an 8,000 BTU AC unit for 3-5 hours, ensuring well-lit and functional households. The mobility and modular nature of the system, coupled with efficient solar charging, make it a reliable resource for off-grid power during activities such as RVing, on-site work, and barn living. Its applications extend even further-a 100W projector can operate for 26 hours, a 500W kettle for 5.2 hours, and a 1,500W electric hammer for 1.7 hours. Astonishingly, it can even power a 1,800W electric vehicle, extending its range by another 16.5 miles. Those with extensive solar arrays on their rooftops can achieve heightened energy independence, powering both their homes and vehicles.

The good news is that BLUETTl is offering great savings on AC300 products. The AC300+B300 combo is now only $4,998. If adding a BLUETTI PV350 folding panel, normally sells for $1,399, to this combo for only $99, you could save $1,300 directly.

For larger households, BLUETTI presents another alternative, the EP500Pro, whose bundle with one PV350 solar panels enjoys a $1,399 drop from its MSRP of $7,698. This all-in-one power station has a 3,000W inverter and a fixed capacity of 5,100Wh, enough to power most household appliances. It also ensures a seamless power supply during blackouts and a greener lifestyle with its responsive UPS function and 1,200W solar charging.

Beyond Solar Products: Green Actions for a Brighter Future

While BLUETTI’s solar solutions make a significant impact, there are numerous other small actions we can take to promote environmental stewardship.

Start by minimizing single-use plastics – carry a reusable water bottle, coffee cup, and shopping bags.Opt for energy-efficient appliances and switch off lights when not in use.Embrace public transport, biking, or walking to reduce carbon emissions.Support local and organic products to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation and pesticides.Conserve water by fixing leaks and using efficient fixtures.Plant trees and create green spaces to combat urban heat islands and promote biodiversity.Reduce meat consumption or try a plant-based diet – livestock agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gases.Spread awareness through conversations and social media to inspire others.The list could go on and on. Living green doesn’t require monumental changes. Every small effort, when multiplied across millions, has the potential to heal and preserve our planet for future generations.

Your Role in the Green Revolution

As responsible global citizens, the time for action is now. By adopting renewable and clean energy solutions, we can make an immediate and lasting impact on our environment. With summer ushering in the high-yield season for solar energy, the combination of a BLUETTI battery and solar panels presents a remarkable opportunity to live a low-carbon, environmentally friendly life. Remember, as the saying goes, “Without renewables, there can be no future.” Let’s stand together, embrace clean energy, and pave the way for a sustainable and thriving planet.

1. Stay Informed: Stay abreast of weather forecasts and local disaster risk assessments through trusted sources such as local news media, emergency management agencies, and official social media channels. Sign up for emergency alerts and notifications from your local government to receive accurate and timely information. Familiarize yourself with evacuation routes and community gathering points to ensure swift action when needed.

2. Prepare an Emergency Kit: Assemble a well-stocked kit containing nonperishable food, drinking water, medications, first aid supplies, a flashlight, batteries, a battery-powered radio, and essential documents. For those heavily reliant on electronic devices, consider adding BLUETTI's portable power stations, like EB3A, AC60, and EB70) to your kit. These multi-outlet handy power stations ensure you an stay connected and powered up, enabling you to receive official notices and maintain communication.

3. Develop an Emergency Plan: Natural disasters, like earthquakes, can strike suddenly and without warning. Don't leave anything to chance. Craft a comprehensive evacuation plan for your family, including multiple evacuation routes and a designated meeting place away from danger. Regularly practice these plans to ensure everyone knows their roles. Remember to include your furry family members in your plans.

4. Prepare a Home Backup Power Source: Following natural disasters such as wildfires or ice storms, you can expect prolonged outages lasting days or even weeks due to disrupted power grids. It is very important to prepare a powerful home backup power supply in advance.

What to Do During Natural Disasters

When a natural disaster strikes, your safety and well-being are paramount. Here are practical steps to help you navigate the challenges:

Stay Informed and Calm: Keep your communication devices, like phones and radios, fully charged to stay informed about the situation. Staying calm is essential for making rational decisions.

Follow official instructions: If officials issue a shelter-in-place order, do as they say. Gather family members in a safe room away from windows and exterior walls. If ordered to evacuate, leave the area as directed and take your prepackaged supplies, including your BLUETTI backup power source, to sustain you for several days. Do not attempt to return until it is officially declared safe.

What to Do After Natural Disasters

As the disaster subsides, the aftermath can be just as challenging. Here's how to navigate the aftermath effectively:

Check for Safety: Assess your surroundings for potential hazards. If you need to venture outside, be cautious of downed power lines, debris, and unstable structures.

Document Damage: Take photographs of any damage to your property. This documentation will be essential for insurance claims and government assistance applications.

Stay Updated: Continue to follow local news, social media, and official announcements for recovery efforts, emergency shelters, and relief distribution points.

Natural disasters bring challenges, but with careful preparation and the right tools, you can minimize their impact on your life. BLUETTI's innovative power solutions, such as the AC300+B300 and EP500Pro, equip you with the means to stay connected, powered, and resilient during and after these hard times.

TANAKA Establishes Production System in China for Fuel Cell Electrode Catalysts

TOKYO, Sep 12, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Koichiro Tanaka), which operates an industrial precious metals business as a core company of TANAKA Precious Metals, announced today that it has signed a technical assistance agreement with Chengdu Guangming Paite Precious Metal Co., Ltd., an affiliated company in China, in the area of fuel cell electrode catalyst manufacturing technologies.

Electrode catalysts for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEFCs)

As part of the agreement, production equipment will be installed at the plant of Ya'an Guangming Paite Precious Metal Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Chengdu Guangming Paite Precious Metal, with plans to start full-scale production in the summer of 2024. The companies also plan to start production of fuel cell electrode catalysts for the Chinese market by the end of 2025. As a member of TANAKA and with the leading share of the global market for fuel cell electrode catalysts, TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo aims to use this agreement to meet the growing domestic demand for fuel cell electrode catalysts in China.

TANAKA's Fuel Cell Electrode Catalysts

TANAKA's FC Catalyst Development Center, within its Shonan Plant, is currently developing and manufacturing electrode catalysts for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEFCs) and polymer electrolyte water electrolysis (PEWE). The company sells highly active, highly durable platinum catalysts and platinum alloy catalysts for PEFC cathodes[1], highly CO-tolerant platinum alloy catalysts and OER catalysts[2] for PEFC anodes[3], and iridium oxide catalysts for PEWE anodes.

PEFCs are used in applications such as fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and residential-use fuel cells (ENE-FARM), with their use expected to expand in the future to also include buses, trucks, and other commercial vehicles, forklifts and other material handling vehicles, heavy construction machines, robots and other industrial machines, and large stationary equipment. Compact, lightweight, high-output PEFCs employ a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to generate power, which will make them important devices for the global environment of the future.

One major issue facing the full-scale use of fuel cell batteries is the cost of the platinum they use. TANAKA has been researching precious metal catalysts for more than 40 years, resulting in the development of catalysts that use smaller amounts of precious metals while achieving high performance and high durability. By studying new carrier materials and catalyst post-processing methods and producing more active metal species, the company is currently developing catalysts that are even more suitable for use in fuel cells.

Trends in the Global Fuel Cell Market

In China, government policy continues to drive the development of hydrogen energy and FCVs as strategic industries. The Chinese government is implementing a range of support measures to promote research and development and the expanded use of fuel cell battery technologies. It is also driving the development and adoption of FCVs through subsidies, tax incentives, and other efforts. With other measures, including the development of hydrogen supply infrastructure in cities and along major traffic routes, the country's fuel cell market is expected to grow even further going forward.

In Europe and the United States as well, governments are promoting zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs)[4]. In the EU, as part of the Fit for 55 package of climate change measures adopted by the European Union in April 2023, a bill was adopted to require new passenger vehicles and small commercial vehicles to be zero-emission, in principle, from 2035. (The sale of new vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines will only be accepted after 2035 if they use synthetic fuels (e-fuels)[5].) In the US as well, an executive order was issued in 2021 to require 50% of new car sales to be electric by 2030.

In Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry has been meeting with representatives of the hydrogen supply industry, automobile manufacturers, logistics companies, local governments, and others since September 2022 to discuss the expanded use of hydrogen in mobility. In an interim summary of discussions in July 2023, it announced that the selection of priority areas for early adoption of trucks and buses that use fuel cells to run will be finalized before the end of this year.

TANAKA will continue to focus on research and development while working to achieve stable supplies of fuel cell electrode catalysts, and as the leading company in the area of fuel cell electrode catalysts, it aims to contribute toward the expansion of fuel cell use and realization of a hydrogen society.

[1] Cathodes: Hydrogen-generation electrodes (air poles) where oxygen reduction reactions take place. This assumes that hydrogen-generation electrodes are being used for water electrolysis (PEWE).

[2] OER catalysts: Catalysts that activate oxygen evolution reactions.

[3] Anodes: Oxygen-generation electrodes (fuel poles) where hydrogen oxidation reactions take place. This assumes that hydrogen-generation electrodes are being used for water electrolysis (PEWE).

[4] Zero-emission vehicles: Electric vehicles (EVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) that emit no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases during operation. In the United States, plug-in electric vehicles (PHEVs) are also considered to be ZEVs.

[5] E-fuels: Petroleum-alternative fuels produced in a chemical reaction between carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2).

"AIPF has specific agenda of building green infrastructure and resilient supply chains through industrial downstreaming. The development of the electric vehicle ecosystem is a concrete example of regional supply chain development," President Jokowi said.

State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Minister Erick Thohir said the AIPF is a part of the Indonesian government's efforts to build cooperation at the Asia-Pacific regional level to encourage sustainable economic development.

"The Government of Indonesia, through State-Owned Enterprises, is actively cooperating with global partners. This includes forming strategic alliances to build electric vehicle battery supply chains, expand cross-country interconnectivity, and participate in regional infrastructure development," Erick said.

PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo said the focus at AIPF was cooperation between countries and private sectors to realize the ASEAN mission in the interconnection of electricity systems. PLN is currently building a green enabling supergrid equipped with smartgrid and flexible generations.

Thus far, PLN has agreements for the ASEAN power grid with two Malaysian power companies: Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd, to develop the Kalimantan-Sabah interconnection, and Tenaga Nasional Bhd, to develop the Sumatra-Semenanjung Malaysia interconnection. The agreements were signed at 41st ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) and ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF) in Bali last August 25.

"We believe that the big dream of the ASEAN Power Grid can bring prosperity to Southeast Asian countries. This dream can certainly be achieved through collaboration," Darmawan said. "The Green Enabling Supergrid is an effeort balance the renewable energy scattered in Sumatra and Kalimantan, and the the demand center in Java. It will revive the region by creating a new economic epicenter.

"PLN supports the government's move to become an initiator in energy transition in the APAC community. The construction of Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant is proof of Indonesia's commitment to developing more environmentally friendly energy sources. It also shows that PLN is able to present attractive investment cooperation schemes so as to encourage investor interest in developing renewable energy projects in other regions," said Darmawan.

The Cirata Floating Solar Power Plant with a capacity of 192 MWp, by PLN in collaboration with the UAE renewable energy company Masdar, is currently entering the finalization process. The plant, which occupies an area of 200 hectares, will produce 245 million kWh of energy per year and can supply electricity equivalent to 50,000 households.
