Sandy solution for renewable energy storage; Thermal Energy Storage System

Green Car Congress

Sand is emerging as a key ingredient in the race to develop a viable electricity storage system for renewable energies. Australia-based Latent Heat Storage has developed a low cost thermal energy storage system based on the latent heat properties of silicon derived from sand. by Andrew Spence. —Jonathan Whalley.

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

As countries transition away from fossil fuels to green sources of energy like wind and solar, there will be natural lulls in energy production due to weather conditions. Energy consumption also tends to peak during early evening hours , which is inconveniently right when solar energy output decreases.

Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

Upfront costs are steadily approaching parity with legacy vehicles, purchase incentives are available, and new programs at the levels of federal (IRA, BIL), state (California’s ACT and ACF) and local (city zero-emission zones) government are driving (some would say “coercing”) companies to move forward quickly. What happens when we plug in 1.2-megawatt

Will the world run out of lithium?

Drive Electric

Lithium is commonly used for rechargeable batteries, particularly in Electric Vehicles (EVs). With global EV purchases continually rising , the sudden surge in demand has caused consumer concerns about the resultant demand for lithiu m, and the availability of this valuable resource, leading many to ask: will the world run out of lithium?

The Essential Guide to EV Smart Charging and Smart Energy Management

Driivz

It optimizes energy consumption based on grid constraints, energy pricing, renewable energy availability, locally stored energy, preconfigured EV owner preferences, and driver needs. EV drivers require complete transparency, with real-time information about charger availability as well as clarity about peak and non-peak pricing.
