Ampd launches next-gen battery storage for heavy industries. Wednesday, 22 July, 2026 Ampd Energy, a developer of energy storage systems (ESS) for heavy industries, has launched its next generation of ESS. Following the success of the Ampd Enertainer ESS, the company's NextGen product range - the Ampd 200 and Ampd 400 - is targeted at heavy industrial sites, such as construction, infrastructure, concrete batching, oil & gas, microtunnelling, ports, mining, and also events. According to Ampd, the Enertainer has so far eliminated over 160,000 tonnes of CO[2] and removed an equivalent of over 120,000 cars' worth of air pollution (NO[x], PM and SO[2]). With up to 292 kW/297 kVA (193 kW/214 kVA continuous) and up to 585 kW/595 kVA (386 kW/428 kVA continuous) respectively, the new ESS range builds on the Entertainer, opening up new markets and power applications. Both the Ampd 200 and Ampd 400 are certified by SGS to the standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Ampd's Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Stewart, said, "This is the latest stage in Ampd's journey to modernise how heavy industrial sites access mobile power and support their energy transition. With these new products, Sustainabilitymatters can now cater to higher energy use cases. "Combined with a higher IP rating, this expands our deployment opportunities in construction and enables us to break into new industries. We see the new Ampd range empowering us to support a wide array of heavy industries, improve productivity, deliver strong commercials, and make a positive environmental impact." The global rollout of the NextGen products will continue throughout the year. Images: Supplied The 179 MW Narrogin Wind Farm is expected to generate enough clean energy to meet about 3% of the...

As global momentum builds towards net-zero emissions, Hong Kong is positioning itself as a leader in green technology and sustainable development.With its Climate Action Plan 2050, the city has set ambitious decarbonisation targets. But the real opportunity lies in its thriving ecosystem of startups, government-backed initiatives, and cross-border green finance opportunities that could resonate with European investors and innovators.From policy and infrastructure to impressive startups challenging the future of green innovation, Hong Kong could be the jumping-off point for successful market entry into Asia.Hong Kong’s climate strategy – from policy to actionIn 2021, Hong Kong unveiled its Climate Action Plan 2050, committing to carbon neutrality by mid-century with an interim goal of halving emissions by 2035. The strategy hinges on four key pillars:Net - zero electricity generation : transitioning from coal to natural gas and renewables, including offshore wind and solar.- : transitioning from coal to natural gas and renewables, including offshore wind and solar. Green buildings & energy efficiency : tightening energy codes and retrofitting older buildings with smart tech.: tightening energy codes and retrofitting older buildings with smart tech. Sustainable transport : expanding EV infrastructure and exploring hydrogen fuel cell buses.: expanding EV infrastructure and exploring hydrogen fuel cell buses. Waste reduction & circular economy: boosting recycling rates and investing in waste-to-energy plants.For European cleantech firms, Hong Kong’s push for smart city solutions and green infrastructure presents collaboration opportunities, particularly in energy storage, smart grids, and sustainable urban planning.Government support: funding & incubation for green technologiesTo accelerate innovation, the Hong Kong government has rolled out several funding and support schemes.The Green Tech Fund is a governmental initiative that supports R&D projects that aim to support Hong Kong’s decarbonization efforts
