Google and Energy Dome Advance Multi-Continent Energy Storage Buildout with First Bilateral Project in Ireland

 DUBLIN & MILAN - Tuesday, 23. June 2026

The 23MW/200MWh CO2 Battery project marks the first bilateral commercial agreement between the companies, relieving grid congestion, promoting energy security and accelerating a 24/7 carbon-free energy solution in Ireland and beyond

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today Energy Dome, a leading long-duration energy storage technology developer, and Google announced their first bilateral commercial contract for a 23MW / 200MWh CO2 Battery project located in County Offaly, Ireland. The project is part of a long-term partnership the companies announced last year to deploy Energy Dome’s CO2 Battery technology at scale and advance Google’s ambition to expand access to affordable, secure and 24/7 clean energy for grids globally. This announcement is on the back of a 19 MW/200 MWh project in Arizona announced this month by Energy Dome, Google, and the local utility SRP.

This project will be developed, owned and operated by Energy Dome using its proprietary CO2 Battery technology. The technology works by using grid power to compress and store CO2, then, when power is needed, expanding the CO2 through a turbine to generate energy that is sent back to the grid.

Strengthening grid reliability and sustainability in Ireland

The Irish government has identified long-duration energy storage as a key solution for ensuring security of electricity supply, reducing system costs, and enabling Ireland’s ambitious policy framework to reach 80% renewable electricity by 2030.

Through this commercial project, Google and Energy Dome aim to establish a blueprint for how long-duration energy storage technology can contribute to an affordable, secure and clean electricity system in Ireland. By absorbing surplus energy during periods of oversupply and dispatching firm power during periods of system stress, Energy Dome’s CO2 Battery can enable smart, cost-effective utilization of the grid’s renewable energy resources to balance the system while alleviating local grid congestion bottlenecks.

Located in County Offaly in the Irish Midlands near the town of Rhode, the site is strategically located on a critical node of the Irish electric grid, with high-voltage lines serving the Greater Dublin metropolitan area. Expanding energy resources in this area of the country is essential to greater economic growth in Irish demand centers.

Developed in concert with Lumcloon Energy, a leading local developer based in the Midlands, Energy Dome’s project creates jobs and long-term community benefits from deploying its cutting-edge technology. The project is sited on a former peat-fired thermal power plant, and will provide a second life for this brownfield industrial land by repurposing it into an engine for the clean energy transition. Located near the Rhode Green Energy Park, the surrounding area has abundant energy resources, including solar and wind, which suffer from curtailment due to high congestion in the local grid. By storing energy for later dispatch, the project provides congestion relief and avoids the costly buildout of transmission lines, translating into greater affordability for all users on the grid.

Claudio Spadacini, Founder and CEO of Energy Dome, said: “We are proud to work with Google on a project that strengthens grid resilience and unlocks the path to 24/7 carbon-free energy in Ireland. This project is the first commercial bilateral deployment under the strategic partnership between our companies, which aims to develop CO2 Battery projects across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.”

Compared to most battery supply chains, which depend on lithium-ion and other critical minerals, Energy Dome’s CO2 Battery uses available and off-the-shelf components. The adoption of Energy Dome's proven technology in Ireland shows how dispatchable, long-duration energy storage can meet rising electricity demand while strengthening the country's energy security, resilience, and reliability.

“At Google, we are committed to catalyzing next-generation energy technologies to bolster grid resilience and introduce critical storage capacity to the system,” said Vanessa Hartley, Head of Google Ireland. “This milestone is a next step in our long-term partnership with Energy Dome, and will help scale their promising long-duration energy storage technology, charging ahead to an affordable, secure and clean energy future.”

The project has already secured land, planning consent, and grid connection. It has also been awarded a 10-year capacity contract by EirGrid, the State-owned transmission system operator, and is expected to come online in 2028. Energy Dome plans to develop a second 200 MWh unit at this site, establishing a long-duration energy storage hub in the Irish Midlands.

Print Creates an Enterprise Dark Data Problem. VasionⓇ Innovated Again to Find the Solution.

 Intelligent Print Automation Turns the File > Print Workflow Into an AI-Ready Data Pipeline

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Every time employees click File > Print to send documents to printers, save them to PDFs or scan them to unmanaged folders, enterprise data becomes unstructured and quietly goes dark. Dark data escapes compliance controls, bypasses AI workflow and quickly becomes a liability.

Vasion is the Intelligent Print Automation leader making digital transformation attainable for all by eliminating print servers, consolidating print environments, digitizing and automating workflows.

Gartner® reports that “roughly 80% of enterprise information is unstructured, spread across documents, files, and rich content in dozens of systems.” Gartner® also predicts that “by 2028, large enterprises will triple their unstructured data capacity across their on-premises, edge and public cloud locations.” AI is accelerating the trend, not reversing it: As employees use AI tools to generate larger documents in higher volume and continue to send them through the broken File > Print workflow the problem is getting worse. Dark data has become one of the fastest-growing challenges in enterprise IT.

Today, Vasion announces the availability of Intelligent Print Automation (IPA) so organizations can leverage that File > Print muscle memory of the workforce to keep data from going dark by seamlessly integrating with any application to intelligently route documents to virtually any destination, ensuring your organization's business intelligence does not go dark. Nowhere are the stakes higher than in healthcare, where patient data locked in unmanaged documents can compromise care decisions, HIPAA compliance, and clinical outcomes.

“Rural health organizations face the same challenge as every enterprise, critical information locked in documents that never make it into the systems driving care decisions. Vasion's Intelligent Print Automation addresses exactly that gap. We're excited to see Vasion bringing this kind of innovation to an infrastructure problem that has been overlooked for too long,” said Kasey Shakespear, Executive Director, Rural Health Association of Utah.

The pattern extends well beyond healthcare. Industry analysts see the same trajectory across every sector where compliance pressure is rising and AI is reshaping how documents move.

“As the management of documents, both print and digital, increasingly requires adherence to complex and evolving compliance requirements, organizations looking to modernize their document management are expected to increasingly rely on secure, seamlessly integrated, AI-driven compliance solutions for print and digital workflows,” said Geoffrey Wilbur, Research Manager, Imaging Domain, IDC.

That convergence is exactly what Intelligent Print Automation was built to address, and the company's leadership is candid about why others in the space can't follow.

“The market that was supposed to solve this problem was full of companies rolling up acquisitions, squeezing margins, killing innovation, and calling old hosted software SaaS. We took a different path: a substantial, multi-year R&D investment to build a cloud-native, multi-tenant platform with fully immutable microservices that was ready for single-click AI integration. Intelligent Print Automation is here, and we built it,” said Ryan Wedig, Co-Founder and CEO, Vasion.

For existing Vasion customers, the path to IPA starts with infrastructure they already have. For new customers, it's a single platform entry point that replaces what would otherwise require multiple vendors and months of integration work. The result is the same: eForms, eSignature, intelligent document processing, and no-code workflow automation, cloud-native and built to the security standards demanded by the most regulated industries in the world, including FedRAMP® High Authorization.

About Vasion

Vasion® is an Intelligent Print Automation company on a mission to make digital transformation attainable for everyone. For more than a decade, Vasion pioneered the cloud-native, serverless print management category, with 14,000+ customers and 30M+ agents deployed on enterprise endpoints worldwide. The Vasion platform, powered by PrinterLogic, PrinterLogic Output, and Vasion Automate, gives organizations the ability to modernize print, consolidate output management, and automate document workflows through a single pane of glass across every print and scan environment. Vasion serves customers globally across government, healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, and education. Learn more at vasion.com. Smart Starts Here.

ScottsMiracle-Gro Cultivates End-to-End Supply Chain Agility with Kinaxis

OTTAWA, Ontario - Monday, 22. June 2026

Kinaxis Maestro™ unifies planning to drive faster decisions and stronger results across a complex North American network

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kinaxis® (TSX: KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply chain planning and orchestration, today announced that ScottsMiracle-Gro, the leading marketer of branded consumer lawn and garden products in North America, is expanding its partnership with Kinaxis. The move will further optimize its supply chain planning operations as part of a broader transformation initiative, building on proven success and results achieved in recent years.

Operating in a seasonal environment, where demand can be impacted by regional weather patterns, retailer promotions, and shifting consumer behavior, ScottsMiracle-Gro is investing further in the Kinaxis Maestro™ platform to improve planning accuracy and strengthen end-to-end supply chain orchestration across its North American network.

This transformation reflects the company’s focus on supply chain technology as a foundational necessity. By connecting planning, decision-making, and execution on a unified platform, the company aims to improve responsiveness, optimize performance, and better navigate volatility while supporting long-term growth and operational efficiency.

Prior to working with Kinaxis, ScottsMiracle-Gro relied on manual workflows with limited standardization across business units, making it challenging to respond quickly during peak demand periods. By moving to a unified, AI-powered platform, the company is enabling a more cohesive planning model to orchestrate decisions in real time, deliver stronger business outcomes at scale to the benefit of its customers and consumers.

“Consumer satisfaction is a core conviction for our company,” said David Huskisson, Senior Vice President, at ScottsMiracle-Gro. “To deliver high-quality, dependable products when and where consumers expect them, we needed a supply chain platform that is dynamic, reliable and responsive. Kinaxis is enabling us to better manage demand and navigate volatility while supporting our growth objectives and strengthening service to our retail partners.”

Advanced scenario planning and orchestration capabilities were a key factor in the decision. With the ability to model weather shifts, material constraints and production trade-offs in real time within Maestro, ScottsMiracle-Gro can respond faster to changing conditions, such as a sudden spike in demand triggered by the first warm spring weekend, while reducing the risk of stockouts and eliminating inefficiencies.

“ScottsMiracle-Gro is operating at the intersection of demand volatility and high customer expectation,” said Mark Morgan, President of Global Commercial Operations at Kinaxis. “With Maestro, they are building a more connected, agile supply chain that can sense change, evaluate options, and respond with confidence. By expanding our relationship and bringing planning, decision-making, and execution together on a single platform, they are enabling teams to orchestrate actions across the business, adapt faster to volatility, and create a competitive advantage in an increasingly unpredictable market.”

David Huskisson will join Kinaxis CEO Razat Gaurav on June 23 at 9:50 CDT at Reuters Supply Chain USA for a keynote, Operational Orchestration in Practice: Turning Volatility into Competitive Advantage. Together, they’ll explore how connecting plans, decisions, and coordinated actions across supply chain and operations teams are driving stronger alignment and execution with Maestro.

54% of Aspiring Web3 Professionals Can't Land Their First Job: Bitget Report

 

VICTORIA, Seychelles - Friday, 19. June 2026

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has released its Web3 Next-Gen Talent Intelligence Report, finding that hiring barriers, not a lack of talent, are one of the industry’s biggest workforce challenges. Conducted under Bitget's Blockchain4Youth (B4Y) initiative, the study surveyed aspiring and early-career professionals across multiple regions and found that while Web3 continues attracting highly educated talent, many candidates remain unable to secure their first role.

More than 54% of respondents identified prior experience requirements for junior positions as the biggest obstacle to entering the industry, while 52% said their education provided theoretical knowledge but lacked practical, job-ready skills. The findings suggest that as blockchain education expands globally, employment pathways have not kept pace, creating a growing disconnect between learning and workforce participation. The report concludes that the sector faces a talent access challenge instead of talent shortage, with many qualified candidates struggling to gain the experience needed to enter the industry.

The report also highlights the increasing importance of emerging markets in shaping the future of the Web3 workforce. Nigeria, Indonesia, and China accounted for nearly half of all respondents, reflecting how blockchain education and career interest are expanding beyond traditional technology hubs. Nearly 46% of participants were between the ages of 23 and 30 years, while more than 58% held Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degrees.

“The industry has succeeded in attracting talent globally. The challenge now is converting talent into employment. The findings show there is a large pool of motivated and educated candidates, but many are struggling to take the first step into the industry. Closing this gap will be critical for the next phase of industry growth,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

The report highlights that talent interests are evolving alongside industry demand. AI and blockchain convergence emerged as the most sought-after career path, selected by 61% of respondents. Despite strong enthusiasm for the sector, respondents consistently identified practical industry exposure as a missing piece of career development, with 62% selecting mentorship fr0m experienced professionals as the support mechanism most likely to accelerate their careers.

The report follows continued expansion of Blockchain4Youth, Bitget's global initiative focused on blockchain education and workforce development. The findings reinforce the importance of structured learning pathways that combine technical education with practical industry exposure, an approach reflected in the Blockchain4Youth Learning Hub curriculum, which combines blockchain fundamentals, DeFi education, industry insights, and emerging technology topics.

The Blockchain4Youth Learning Hub recently surpassed 10,000 registered learners worldwide. Participants who successfully complete the programme receive a certificate that can be used to access priority review for selected opportunities within Bitget and the Blockchain4Youth Talent Alliance, helping connect education with real-world career pathways. Through initiatives including Boxed for Opportunity and educational partnerships, career-focussed programmes, and the Blockchain4Youth Talent Alliance, Blockchain4Youth continues connecting learning, mentorship, and career development opportunities for emerging Web3 talent.

The report concluded that stronger collaboration between educational institutions, employers, learning platforms, and industry participants will be needed to bridge the gap between education and employment and support the next stage of Web3 workforce growth.
