Benson from Stanford University and Stanford’s Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) has quantified the energetic costs of 7 different grid-scale energy storage technologies over time. Reducing financial cost is not sufficient for creating a scalable energy storage infrastructure. Click to enlarge. A new study by Charles J.

In contrast, lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate in the US. Aqua Metals has developed a process that it says is much cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective. But right now, used lead-acid batteries are a commodity. Each has its own set of environmental issues. It’s a great sustainability story.

published in the ACS journal Chemical Reviews , reviews in detail four stationary storage systems considered the most promising candidates for electrochemical energy storage: vanadium redox flow; sodium-beta alumina membrane; lithium-ion; and lead-carbon batteries. Among the most important factors are capital cost and life-cycle cost.
