Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. Technologies include energy storage with molten salt and liquid air or cryogenic storage. Energy storage with hydrogen, which is still emerging, would involve its conversion from electricity via electrolysis for storage in tanks.

JBEI team develops new one-pot process to extract biomass sugars from ionic liquid solutions

Green Car Congress

The new approach, described in an open access paper in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels , potentially could significantly reduce costs of sugar production from lignocellulose by eliminating the need for costly enzymes and decreasing the water consumption requirements. The use of ionic liquids (molten salts with melting points.
