Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Several companies are developing chemical processes, but these are still at pilot scale, and Aqua’s execs see serious challenges in delivering the required product purity and dealing with waste streams. If we build out our infrastructure using that technology, it’s going to be a big step backwards, environmentally.

Stanford study quantifies energetic costs of grid-scale energy storage over time; current batteries the worst performers; the need to improve cycle life by 3-10x

Green Car Congress

Using a new metric—“Energy Stored on Invested, ESOI”—they concluded that batteries were the worst performers, while compressed air energy storage (CAES) performed the best, followed by pumped hydro storage (PHS). This analysis indicates that energy storage could provide some grid flexibility but its build up will require decades.

Porous Metal-Organic Frameworks Made from Food-Grade Natural Products; Edible MOFs for Gas Storage and Other Applications

Green Car Congress

Within their pores, the MOFs can store gases such as hydrogen or carbon dioxide. Most previously prepared MOFs are made of building blocks that stem from petrochemicals. Fraser Stoddart at Northwestern and his colleagues set themselves a challenge to synthesize MOFs from natural products. Smaldone et al. Fraser Stoddart. ?
