New Idea To Turn Abandoned Mines Into Batteries
February 9, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) has offered a new technique called Underground Gravity Energy Storage that turns decommissioned mines into long-term energy storage solutions. Renewable energy sources are central to the energy transition toward a more sustainable future. However, as sources like sunshine and wind are inherently variable and inconsistent, finding […]

Newly Created Smaller Cheaper Flow Batteries
February 8, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Georgia Institute of Technology engineers have now developed a more compact flow battery cell configuration that reduces the size of the cell by 75%. That corresponds to reducing the size and cost of the entire flow battery. The work could revolutionize how everything from major commercial buildings to residential homes are battery powered. The all-Georgia […]

Skipping Pretreatment And Still Make Hydrogen Fuel
February 7, 2023 | Leave a Comment
University of Adelaide’s Professor Shizhang Qiao and Associate Professor Yao Zheng from the School of Chemical Engineering led an international team that successfully split seawater without pre-treatment to produce green hydrogen. Professor Qiao said, “We have split natural seawater into oxygen and hydrogen with nearly 100 per cent efficiency, to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis, […]
