Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

This sponsored article is brought to you by COMSOL. When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. This means that storing and distributing energy is as important as its generation.

Study finds co-producing FT fuels and electricity from coal and biomass with CCS delivers low GHG synfuels at lower cost and with less biomass than cellulosic ethanol

Green Car Congress

Furthermore, coproduction systems that utilize a co-feed of biomass and coal (CBTL) and incorporate CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) in the design offer attractive opportunities for decarbonizing both liquid fuels and power generation simultaneously.

DOE to award up to $15M for projects to improve reliability of solid oxide fuel cells

Green Car Congress

The DOE Office of Fossil Energy’s (FE) Clean Coal Research Program (CCRP) is pursuing research, development and demonstration (RD&D) to decrease the cost of electricity (COE) and capture costs and increase base power plant efficiency, thereby reducing the amount of CO 2 that has to be captured and stored per unit of electricity generated.

Tesla shows off new Megapack production facility in California

Teslarati

The enormous Tesla Megapack battery allows local municipalities and utility companies to store excess energy created during the day, often from renewables such as wind and solar, and then use that energy to supplement the generators when their production decreases.

Role of Batteries in Clean Energy Transitions – ET Auto

Baua Electric

For instance, during periods of reduced solar irradiance or wind speed, traditional energy sources such as coal often experience a surge in production to meet demand. These systems act as standby reserves, preventing energy waste by storing excess energy for future use or peak demand periods.

Sodium-ion batteries are set to spark a renewable energy revolution – and Australia must be ready – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Sodium-ion batteries: pros and cons Energy storage collects excess energy generated by renewables, stores it then releases it on demand, to help ensure a reliable supply. This means the batteries are less energy-dense than their lithium counterparts, and so require more space and material to store the same amount of charge.
