/PRNewswire/ — As long-duration energy storage (LDES) becomes essential to overcome the intermittency of renewable energy and enable green energy in all seasons,the third HiTHIUM Eco-Day concluded on December 12 on the theme of “the awakening of energy • The new world”. The event brought together global LDES experts, AI data center industry leaders, and partners from across the energy ecosystem. The event also marked the global launch of three major innovations: the native 8-hour solution ∞Power86.9MW/55.2MWh, the dedicated 8-hour LDES cell ∞Cell 1300Ah and the ∞Power Solutions for AI Data Center, a collaborative full-duration lithium-sodium energy storage solution.
Jeff Wu’s speech
LDES becomes a strategic enabler of all-weather green energy
During the keynote speech, Jason Wang, co-founder and CEO of HiTHIUM, highlighted that energy storage, particularly LDES, was the obvious way to move green energy from being “weather dependent” to being “stable and easy to use.” To realize this vision, HiTHIUM officially launched the “All-Weather Green Power • 135 Lighthouse Plan.” (green energy in all weathers – Flagship Plan 135). Centered on the LDES and guided by the mission to co-create a new world of always-on green energy, the five-year initiative focuses on three pillars of action – green intelligent computing, comprehensive storage deployment and green energy hubs – with the aim of extending the “beacon light” of the LDES to all sectors and enabling green energy to benefit everyone.
Industry experts from around the world participated in the discussion. Alex Cipolla, Principal Analyst at Wood Mackenzie, shared his thoughts on global LDES technology trends, applications and methods. Zhihua Liu, Solutions Director for South China Region at Eaton Power Shanghai, also introduced the company’s innovations in high-voltage direct current and intelligent power distribution.
Three revolutionary technologies herald the future of LDES and AI infrastructure
As the highlight of Eco-Day, HiTHIUM unveiled three revolutionary technologies:
∞Power86.9MW/55.2MWhthe world’s first native 8-hour LDES solution, designed for all-weather renewable energy smoothing, multi-hour shifting and stable green energy delivery.
∞Cell 1300Ah Dedicated 8-Hour Cella new generation high capacity cell allowing deep cycles of 8 hours, a lifespan of more than 20 years, superior safety and a significant reduction in the levelized total costs of the energy produced.
∞Power Solutions for AI Data Centerthe industry’s first full-duration lithium-sodium solution combining long-duration lithium storage and high-rate sodium-ion for millisecond response, designed to meet the dual needs of AI data centers for long-term stability and instantaneous power support.
AI Data Centers in the Spotlight: Decoding Energy Sectors and Launching the Common Industry Blue Book
During the AI Data Center Roundtable, moderated by Nazar Yi, Board Member and Vice Chairman of HiTHIUM, experts from telecom operators, data center companies and industry associations discussed whether LDES is the “missing piece” for establishing carbon-free data centers. Guests noted that AI data centers face a growing tension between rising computing demand and limited energy supply and that lithium-based LDES technology is a critical path to improving stability, reducing costs and enabling scalable development.
The event also saw HiTHIUM and leading industry organizations jointly release the Blue Paper on Energy Storage under the 2025 China AIDC initiative. The report describes trends in AI data center power consumption, evolving battery backup requirements, and the growing importance of LDES for AI data center energy constraints, providing detailed analysis on various topics ranging from industry demand to deployment strategies.
Accelerate AI-energy integration and build an open LDES ecosystem
In his closing remarks, Jeff Wu, founder and president of HiTHIUM, emphasized that energy storage must be comparable to wind and solar, not only in terms of lifespan, but also costs. To achieve this objective, HiTHIUM will prioritize four priorities: developing ultra-large, high-security, long-life cells; build safer, more integrated and more efficient systems; advance smart manufacturing; provide fully integrated energy storage solutions.
HiTHIUM’s flagship annual event, Eco-Day reflects the company’s rapid rise to the Top 2 in global energy storage battery deliveries. HiTHIUM will continue to expand its technology portfolio, deepen its partnership networks and contribute to the global development of clean energy while shaping the future of energy storage in the AI era.
