Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) It’s a rare material, and lots of places need batteries,” Liu said.

Hydrogen Battery "Sponges" Store Solar for the Grid

Cars That Think

A novel project in Australia aims to harness the sun’s energy in two different ways: by storing it and by using it to produce green hydrogen. Dozens of solar farms in the country’s southeastern region are slated to use “ hydrogen batteries ” in coming years. National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
