Concept Energy Storage Low Cost Oil 
Cars That Think
MARCH 14, 2022
Solar batteries work as a short-term solution, but not when it comes to long-term storage or to power, say, an entire city. A possible answer, though, might lie in oil wells. Solar energy and oil wells might sound like an odd combination, but the principle is similar to how geothermal energy would be harnessed.

The goal of the program is to translate the performance achieved at the lab- and bench-scale by previously funded ARPA-E technologies to commercial viability, supporting promising energy technologies that require scaling-up or pre-pilot projects to enable a path to market and ultimately lead to realized commercial impact.

This project will research, develop, and demonstrate polyalkylene glycol (PAG)- based engine oil technology which can reduce engine friction relative to conventional petroleum-based and synthetic oils. This project will develop a new process that enables low-cost, domestic manufacturing of magnesium. . $1,497,531.

The unit cost of batteries will decline with increased production and development; in addition, the energy storage (in kilowatt-hours) required for a given vehicle range will decline with vehicle load reduction and improved electrical component efficiency. Making hydrogen with low GHG emissions is more costly (e.g.,

The research was supported by the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) and reported in the journal Nature. Among the most interesting applications for the high-temperature pump would be low-cost grid storage for surplus energy produced by renewables. —Amy et al.
