The Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) has awarded $3 million from its 2015 OPEN funding to a project to develop an all-solid-state sodium battery. A sodium-based battery, on the other hand, has the potential to store larger amounts of electrical energy at a significantly lower cost. Led by Steve W.

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. Because solar and wind energy are intermittent, producing energy only when the sun shines or the wind blows, a method to capture and store energy for later use is needed.

Hydrogen produced by water electrolysis has the potential to be a useful means of storing excess electricity generated using wind, solar, and other intermittent renewable energy. The 2015 cost target was $2-$3/gge. Integrated renewable hydrogen systems and public-private community-based partnerships.
