A new organisation called the Smart Container Alliance has been launched by a consortium of relevant technology companies to promote the adoption of smart container systems.
[pdf] China is developing a container ship with a next-generation nuclear power plant. Chinese engineers have begun developing an innovative container ship with a capacity of up to 14,000 TEU, equipped with an advanced propulsion system based on a 200 MW TMSR molten salt thorium reactor.
[pdf] These modular units store excess solar heat in ceramic bricks at 1,500°C - four times cheaper than battery arrays for overnight power generation. A pilot project at Ouaga 2000 Industrial Zone achieved 94% efficiency in converting stored heat to electricity.
[pdf] Highjoule successfully deploys 1MW off-grid photovoltaic storage system in Guinea using innovative solar folding containers, providing sustainable energy for remote mining operations.
[pdf] The shipping container format offers clear advantages: portability, rapid deployment, scalability, and modularity. Traditional solar farms require land acquisition, mounting structures, grid connection, and months of construction.
[pdf] The DG Hub focuses on facilitating the development of clear solar and storage permitting processes, sharing best practices through workshops and summits, and providing technical assistance tools such as the NY Solar Map & Portal and the Ombudsman program.
