Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. Energy storage with hydrogen, which is still emerging, would involve its conversion from electricity via electrolysis for storage in tanks. Batteries encompass a range of chemistries.

Waiting for Superbatteries

Cars That Think

But in a world that aspires to leave behind all fuels (except hydrogen or maybe ammonia) and to electrify everything, the preferred measure of stored energy density is watt-hours per liter. Soft wood, such as spruce or pine, packs less than 10 megajoules per liter, whereas bituminous coal has 2.5 less than 1/1,000 the density of kerosene.

GM Says Chevrolet Volt Won't 'Pay the Rent' | Autopia from Wired.com

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Volt like hybrids are the intermediate future between hydrogen or fast charging electric cars. If GM hadnt killed off the EV1 and spent all those years doing bogus development on hydrogen fueled cars, wed be on the 3rd generation of cars using Volt technology by now. So I think its a safe bet for GM.
