The European Union plans to begin charging shippers for carbon emissions this year. Researchers are considering three different types: a lead-cooled fast reactor, a uranium-fueled, helium-gas-cooled reactor, and a molten-salt-cooled reactor, shown here [below, at bottom]. The reactors would be small, modular units.

Professor Donald Sadoway and colleagues have already started a company, Ambri (initially Liquid Metal Battery Corporation), to produce electrical-grid-scale liquid batteries, which comprise layers of molten material which automatically separate due to their differing densities. Earlier post.). —Wang et al. —Donald Sadoway.

And with the popularity of electric vehicles, the grid is under more and more pressure, so the demand for energy storage is growing. Technologies include energy storage with molten salt and liquid air or cryogenic storage. But feasibility in today’s grid applications requires the application of the latest technologies.

Companies have looked into pumped hydroelectric systems that generate electricity from water flowing out of large artificial reservoirs, underground caverns that store hydrogen fuel electrolyzed from water, elevators that lift blocks of concrete and harvest their potential energy as they fall.

There’s another benefit to this battery, and this one will make EV drivers very happy: It will take only 10 minutes to reach an 80 percent charge in EVs powered by these batteries, Rustomji estimates. The rare earth oxide then undergoes a molten-salt electrolysis process that converts it into a solid metal form.

A smart meter is a digital device that records and monitors the consumption of electricity, gas, or water in a home or business. Renewable energy integration involves the incorporation of renewable energy sources into existing energy systems, such as electrical grids or heating systems.

Gretchen Ertl/CFS/MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center What sets CFS’s technology apart is its use of high-temperature superconducting tape, which is layered and stacked to create extremely strong electromagnets that will shape and confine the unruly plasma and keep the bulk of the charged particles away from the tokamak’s walls.
