Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion. Hedging its bets, the industry is exploring ammonia, batteries, and hydrogen, among other options for powering ships.

Solar batteries work as a short-term solution, but not when it comes to long-term storage or to power, say, an entire city. This heat can be stored in reservoirs and dispatched when needed, either for thermal needs or to drive a power cycle to produce electricity.” One of the main impediments to harnessing solar energy is storage.

Zaghib currently serves as Administrator of the energy storage and conversion unit at Hydro-Québec. In 1996, he was the first to propose the use of nano-scale LTO for lithium-ion batteries and hybrid supercapacitors.). Zaghib subsequently exploited, improved and patented novel aspects of LTO technology. (Dr.
