BLUETTI at CES 2026: Clean Energy for All in Action
At CES 2026, global energy pioneer BLUETTI convened a landmark industry panel titled "Clean Energy for All. The panel examined how semiconductor engineering, material science, and environmental advocacy can work together. The discussion brought together voices from Texas Instruments, Covestro, Leave No Trace, and veteran energy journalists. They explored how clean energy can become more sustainable and accessible for people worldwide.
The panel opened with a focus on responsible innovation. Speakers explored how next-generation energy solutions must unite performance and sustainability at every level. BLUETTI demonstrated this approach through its technical collaboration with Texas Instruments and Covestro. The discussion highlighted how advanced power management can align with circular material science to improve clean energy outcomes.
Henrik Mannesson, General Manager of Energy Infrastructure at Texas Instruments, explained how semiconductor innovation strengthens energy storage. The award-winning Apex 300 home battery backup uses TI's C2000™ real-time microcontroller technology alongside BLUETTI’s proprietary optimisation. This combination delivers AC idle power consumption of just 20W. This foundation helps BLUETTI’s latest lineup achieve energy conversion efficiency up to 95%, reducing wasted power and raising the benchmark for efficient battery storage.
Eric Saks of Covestro then explained how external materials can amplify these gains. He introduced the Bio-based Elite 100 V2 portable power station, the first in portable power to use bio-circular plastics. Technical specifications confirm that the material meets UL94 V-0 flame retardancy and 10-year durability standards. It also reduces carbon emissions by 25% during production. BLUETTI connected these material choices to wider decarbonisation progress, including a reduction of 131,030 tons of CO2 equivalent since 2023.
The discussion then moved to the “All” in "Clean Energy for All" and the role of portable power in modern life. The panel highlighted how technology must support increasingly mobile and diverse lifestyles, from outdoor work to everyday travel and home resilience.
Dean Ronzoni of Leave No Trace described how BLUETTI portable power stations and portable solar panels supported travelling teams across 37,968 miles and 174 educational events in 2025. This partnership shows how clean energy can support responsible outdoor recreation. It also helps the outdoor community integrate sustainability into real-world practice.
Tristan Rayner, PV magazine editor and expert energy journalist, described a shift towards “lifestyle energy. He explained that energy storage now extends beyond home backup and into mobility. He pointed to seamless solutions, including the Charger 2 on display at CES 2026, as a clear sign of this transition.
"Beyond mainstream scenarios, meeting extreme-environment needs is central to our mission," added Illia Zahnitko, BLUETTI's spokesperson. "Our Pioneer Na sodium-ion portable power station works safely down to -25°C and reduces reliance on critical lithium minerals. We remain committed to innovation that serves environmental responsibility."
"Semiconductors are the unseen enablers of sustainable energy transformation. TI's C2000™ microcontrollers and battery management technologies power energy storage systems like BLUETTI's, making clean energy more efficient, reliable, and seamlessly integrated into everyday life."
"Our Bayblend® RE polycarbonate, with 25% bio-circular content, empowers BLUETTI's Elite 100 V2 to deliver breakthrough performance. This 'Material Effect' proves that premium, sustainable materials are essential to achieving both high-level engineering and environmental goals."
"As someone who works every day to protect the places we love, I see firsthand how technology can either increase impact or help reduce it. When clean, portable energy is paired with responsible behaviour, it can become a powerful tool for stewardship."
"We're witnessing a transition in energy storage as it spreads throughout the home, and in mobility options as well. It's clearly a shift from backup security to more lifestyle energy. I'm excited to keep up with the innovations within the sector, as we see on display at CES 2026."
Zahnitko also linked the initiative to measurable outcomes. He said BLUETTI systems have generated 7.07 GWh of solar power since 2022. He also highlighted a parallel commitment to community resilience. In 2025, BLUETTI deployed 1,192 power units and provided $290,000 in support, as detailed in the newly released 2025 BLUETTI Social Impact Report.
The panel closed with a clear message on impact and accountability. Moderator Chris Pereira, CEO of iMpact, said: "Technical specifications are only as valuable as the measurable results they generate. The best innovations are those that ensure the transition to sustainable energy empowers communities worldwide."
