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. Increasingly, wind and solar are replacing fossil fuels as our principle source of energy.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

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. The more collection we do, the better for the environment. Our new campus has a full solar roof and solar parking structures, EV charging infrastructure.
