IIASA-led study proposes Underground Gravity Energy Storage as long-term energy storage solution for renewables

Green Car Congress

However, because sunshine and wind are inherently variable and inconsistent, finding ways to store energy in an accessible and efficient way is crucial. While there are many effective solutions for daily energy storage, the most common being batteries, a cost-effective long-term solution is still lacking. Dabek, P.B.,

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

Cheesecake is part of a cohort of companies trying to meet a growing need for alternative forms of energy storage. As countries transition away from fossil fuels to green sources of energy like wind and solar, there will be natural lulls in energy production due to weather conditions.

ICL researchers develop new membrane-based system for cheap, efficiently made biofuels

Green Car Congress

The application of this perstraction system to continuous production of a range of higher alcohols is explored and shown to be highly favourable. —Kim et al. Because they are expensive, biofuels are usually combined with petrol or diesel to make them ‘go further’.

Study sees gradual, focused replacement of lead-acid SLI batteries by Li-ion batteries over next couple of years

Green Car Congress

In the paper, the team reviewed a range of factors specific to the use of Li-ion as an SLI battery in light of some of the technology challenges and market opportunities. This energy sector is primarily driven by the need for low-cost with reasonably long cycle-life energy storage technology, for which the lead-acid battery is well suited.
