There is a tremendous amount of industrial and scientific interest in supercritical CO 2 systems for power generation using all potential heat sources including solar, geothermal, fossil fuel, biofuel and nuclear. The S-CO 2 system is also very compact, meaning that capital costs would be relatively low. Wright et al. SAND2010-0171 ).

We are transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and the use of energy storage is becoming more widespread. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. So what exactly is energy storage? This article will answer your confusion.

Caltech engineers devise new thermochemical cycle for water splitting for H2; recyclable, non-toxic, non-corrosive and at lower temperatures

Green Car Congress

JUNE 6, 2012

Research on thermochemical water splitting cycles largely began in the 1960s and 1970s and involved nuclear reactors and solar collectors as the energy sources, the team notes in their paper. Because of the requirement of high-temperature heat sources, these types of cycles have been investigated for use with solar concentrators.

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. Because solar and wind energy are intermittent, producing energy only when the sun shines or the wind blows, a method to capture and store energy for later use is needed.
