Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

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.

California Hydrogen Business Council says a robust P2G RD&D program should be a priority for the state

Green Car Congress

P2G systems use electrolysis powered by renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen—i.e., P2G converts electrical energy to chemical energy in the form of hydrogen. The water consumption of the P2G process is small, with about 50 gallons of water required to convert 1 MWh of power into 20 kg of hydrogen.

GE and SCE unveil first battery-gas turbine hybrid system

Green Car Congress

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.

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

Energy storage technology is seen as a way to help even out the imbalance in supply and demand by storing excess energy during periods of high production and using it when needed. That’s why interest in unconventional solutions for energy storage has taken off in recent years. Some companies have landed on thermal storage.
