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

Green Car Congress

The new technique—called Underground Gravity Energy Storage (UGES)—proposes an effective long-term energy storage solution while also making use of now-defunct mining sites, which likely number in the millions globally. An open-access paper on the work is published in the journal Energies. Dabek, P.B., Brandão, R., Patro, E.R.,

Chalmers team identifies two main challenges for bio-hydrocarbon fuel production from cheap sources

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have identified two main challenges for renewable biofuel production from cheap sources: lowering the cost of developing microbial cell factories; and establishing more efficient methods for hydrolysis of biomass to sugars for fermentation. That is in line with our research too.

Bloomberg NEF forecasts falling battery prices enabling surge in wind and solar to 50% of global generation by 2050

Green Car Congress

The arrival of cheap battery storage will mean that it becomes increasingly possible to finesse the delivery of electricity from wind and solar, so that these technologies can help meet demand even when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining. NEO 2018 sees $11.5 trillion of that going to wind and solar and a further $1.5
