Dual membrane offers hope for long-term energy storage A new approach to battery design could provide the key to low-cost, long-term energy storage, according to Imperial College London researchers. The team of engineers and chemists have created a polysulfide-air redox flow battery (PSA RFB) with not one, but two membranes. The dual membrane design overcomes … Continue reading Dual membrane offers hope for long-term energy storage→
US government ramps up battery supply chain support with US$3.1 billion funding opportunity The US Department of Energy (DOE) has formally launched a US$3.16 billion grant funding opportunity for its domestic battery supply chain, the latest in a series of moves to support the sector. The funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is made up of two … Continue reading US government ramps up battery supply chain support with US$3.1 billion funding opportunity→
Google and Microsoft join long term energy storage group Twelve companies including Microsoft and Google have joined the Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) Council, a body set up at COP26 in November to promote larger energy storage technologies that can balance the electric grid. Because renewables are generated intermittently, the world needs large facilities to … Continue reading #Google and #Microsoft join long term energy storage group→
RIT taking part in energy storage initiative Rochester Institute of Technology will play a role in a state initiative that targets growth in the energy storage and development industry. The university, through its Battery Prototyping Center, will be part of New Energy New York, a state hub for new battery innovation, manufacturing, and workforce development … Continue reading #RIT taking part in energy storage initiative→
Dominion plans energy storage facility for Chesterfield One of the state’s largest energy storage facilities is on track to open in Chesterfield County this year, as Dominion Energy Inc. works to achieve state-mandated clean energy goals. The Dry Bridge Energy Storage project will feature row after row of installations that resemble shipping containers, each housing … Continue reading Dominion plans energy storage facility for Chesterfield→
Inside Clean Energy: Here’s How Compressed Air Can Provide Long-Duration Energy Storage A grid that runs mostly on wind and solar, part of the future that clean energy advocates are working toward, will need lots of long-duration energy storage to get through the dark of night and cloudy or windless days. Hydrostor, a Canadian company, … Continue reading Inside Clean Energy: Here’s How Compressed Air Can Provide Long-Duration Energy Storage→
Emerging Issues in Energy Storage – Unlocking the Next Wave of the Energy Transition For how long will fossil fuel-generated electricity remain a critical part of our electrical systems? That is the question for those seeking to predict the pace of the global energy transition. For jurisdictions that do not benefit from extensive hydroelectric power … Continue reading Emerging Issues in Energy Storage – Unlocking the Next Wave of the #Energy Transition→
Salt breakthrough could halve the cost of storing solar energy One of the biggest difficulties with wind or solar energy is finding a good way to store it. Lithium-ion batteries are too expensive and need frequent replacing. Molten salt is a more efficient solution — but it tends to be better for storing heat rather … Continue reading #Salt breakthrough could halve the cost of storing solar energy→
