The local battery energy storage solution will feature for the first time in the UK on Schneider Electric’s stand at the Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC Birmingham, April 21-23, 2026 Schneider Boost Pro enables commercial and industrial sites to cut energy costs, reduce their carbon footprint, and ensure smooth operations.

Soma Gold Corp is advancing its mineralised material upgrading strategy at its El Bagre operation in Colombia by utilising Tomra Mining’s sensor-based sorting technology, combining XRT technology with advanced AI through Obtain and Contain Following positive test results carried out at the Tomra Test Centre in Germany, the company is installing a COM Tertiary XRT 1200 sorter to enhance process efficiency and maximise the value of its mineralised material.

Sungrow’s commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage system, PowerKeeper, has successfully completed cell, module, and unit-level thermal runaway tests under UL 9540A, becoming the first modular DC-coupled C&I ESS to achieve triple-level certification Witnessed by TÜV Rheinland, the testing confirms PowerKeeper’s ability to prevent thermal runaway propagation across multiple system layers, setting a new benchmark for safety in commercial and industrial energy storage.

Loesche has signed an exclusive partnership with Metso Corporation to introduce the pioneering Metso Loesche VRM dry grinding technology for a wide range of mineral processing applications The partnership will combine Loesche’s vertical roller mill (VRM) technology with Metso’s expertise in sustainable end-to-end mineral processing solutions and global service capabilities.

A new deep-sea neutrino detector is being developed, using precise positioning from underwater technology company Sonardyne,  to transform our understanding of the universe Several Sonardyne Fetch instruments will provide the precise, stable underwater positioning required by the 3,000m-deep Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) to detect and analyse high-energy neutrinos.

Exergy3, a clean heat technology company, is commissioning a first-of-a-kind decarbonised heat project at Annandale Distillery near Dumfries in Scotland The project delivers high-temperature process heat of up to 1,200°C using low- and zero-carbon electricity. This is a significant breakthrough in the affordable decarbonisation of industrial heat, which accounts for around 18% of global CO2 emissions and is difficult to decarbonise.
