Using a new kind of hydrogel material, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have pulled water out of thin air at temperatures low enough to be achieved with sunlight. Atmospheric water harvesting draws water from humidity in the air. The UT Austin technique is aimed at the latter.

First, an electric potential will be applied to water to simultaneously produce acidity and alkalinity. The University of Texas at Austin. million tonnes of CO 2 per year will be sequestered in mine tailings that are permanently and safely stored with a decrease of 100 kg of CO 2 equivalent per tonne of ore processed.

Between five and ten percent of the water injected in these systems is lost as it travels through the pore spaces. As this happens, more water must be added, perhaps from municipal sources that have little to spare. Their work has shown that supercritical CO 2 is better than water at mining heat from the subsurface.

No battery is perfect, however, so engineers keep pushing for new and improved ways to store those electrons. The gravity batteries described in this story lift giant weights in the air or up mine shafts to store excess electricity, releasing the weights later on to recover the stored energy.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. “Electric vehicles could be connected to the grid and could store energy at times when too much is produced
