Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

It is, however, a challenge that is being made all the greater as we continue to decentralize power generation with more distributed, variable and inflexible sources, such as wind and solar. So how is our grid changing, given our drive towards renewable power generation and the decarbonization of our energy systems?

Solar and Battery Companies Rattle Utility Powerhouses

Cars That Think

Tesla and its partner Octopus Energy Germany recently rolled out retail utility services in two large German states. The German initiative comes on the heels of a similar rollout through Octopus Energy last November in the United Kingdom. Harmony Energy seems pretty pleased. kWh battery wall unit.

Baker Institute report: China has positioned itself as a gatekeeper to the energy transition; nickel case study

Green Car Congress

Widely ignored, although gaining attention, is China’s strategic positioning as a crucial gatekeeper to several key “green” technologies, including battery energy storage to support electric vehicles (EVs)—specifically, battery electric vehicles (BEVs)—along with stationary storage for power grids.

Could Zinc Gel Chemistry Outperform Flow Batteries?

Cars That Think

A new technology from Australia is certainly raising this prospect, offering a novel approach to stationary energy storage—whose packaging at least harkens back to the old, familiar car battery. He adds that non-flow technologies likely "have lower investment cost but the energy throughput is lower. So we will have to see."

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Other batteries are coming from battery energy storage systems. Grid stabilization, solar arrays, wind farms, and even home energy storage systems—some of those are coming offline and already going to their second set of batteries. Smaller electronic devices are very rich in cobalt and nickel.
