Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. Another category is flow batteries with liquid electrolyte solutions, including vanadium redox and iron-chromium and zinc-bromine chemistries. Lithium batteries: the future of storage.

ARPA-E awarding $36M to 22 projects in RANGE program for transformative EV storage

Green Car Congress

ARPA-Eā€™s RANGE program seeks to improve EV driving range and reduce vehicle costs by re-envisioning the total EV battery system, rather than working to increase the energy density of individual battery cells. Dendrite Free Zinc?Air Air Battery. Naval Research Laboratory, will develop a low-cost battery using zinc-air technology.

years if the car is charged using renewable energy. When EV batteries degrade enough to be unsuitable for cars (about 70% capacity remaining), they are re-used for electricity storage. Production causes more emissions than combustion engine models, an EV beginning life with a heavy "emissions debt.ā€
