Over the last five to 10 years we have seen an uptick in new entrants providing retail energy services," says Albert Cheung, head of global analysis at BloombergNEF. "It On any national grid, once the energy is in there, it's hard to trace the generating source—some of it will come from fossil fuels.

Researchers at Harvard have demonstrated a metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery—a quinone–bromide flow battery (QBFB)—as an example of a class of energy storage materials that exploits the favorable chemical and electrochemical properties of a family of molecules known as quinones. —Huskinson et al.

The study builds on a 2011 effort which looked into the six key applications of the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan: wind, solar, nuclear fission, bioenergy, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and the electricity grid. The EU demand for lithium is projected at nearly 15% of the global supply, while that of graphite at 10%.

If the energy storage system is older, it would be possible to use it in a smaller agricultural machine. Even if the battery has multiple defective cells, it may still be suitable for stationary use, for example, as electricity storage in a home photovoltaic system. The battery system does not need to be thrown away.

The company is intending to create a so-called micro factory (possibly more than one) that would require much smaller capital investments to open the doors and be profitable churning out as few as 10,000 vehicles annually (most factories need to manufacture hundreds of thousands to be competitive globally).
