Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

That’s why interest in unconventional solutions for energy storage has taken off in recent years. Some companies have landed on thermal storage. Energy storage has two main factors—how fast it can be charged and discharged (the spigot) and how much total energy it can hold (the bathtub). But the space is still young.

First, scalability: AQDS contains only the Earth-abundant atoms carbon, sulphur, hydrogen and oxygen, and can be inexpensively manufactured on large scales. Furthermore, this electrode permits higher charging voltages by suppressing the parasitic water-splitting reactions. —Michael J. Commercialization.

I think electric cars are the furture and this unit has some real world experience. I also think it will be cheap, which is why I think someone will buy the group. In California, 20% of our electricity comes from zero CO2 renewables (sun, wind, geothermal), another 20% from zero CO2 hydro, and only 20.1%
