In a paper in Nature , they suggest that the use of such redox-active organic molecules instead of redox-active metals represents a new and promising direction for realizing massive electrical energy storage at greatly reduced cost. The quinones are dissolved in water, which prevents them from catching fire.

The hybrid system, the first of two to be deployed at SCE sites, was developed in response to changing regulations and grid requirements in the wake of the devastating gas leak from California’s Aliso Canyon storage facility and will ultimately support increasing renewable energy capacity on the California grid.

The case for using Power-to-Gas solutions to store renewable energy is compelling for a number of important use cases, according to a new white paper released by the California Hydrogen Business Council (CHBC). P2G systems use electrolysis powered by renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen—i.e.,

That’s why interest in unconventional solutions for energy storage has taken off in recent years. Some companies have landed on thermal storage. Kyoto Group Buildings are another big consumer of heat, accounting for almost half of total heat consumption, mostly for space and water heating.
