Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion. Shipping uses over 300 million tonnes of fossil fuels every year, producing 3 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.

We are transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and the use of energy storage is becoming more widespread. And with the popularity of electric vehicles, the grid is under more and more pressure, so the demand for energy storage is growing. So what exactly is energy storage? Mechanical storage.

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. Getting a 100 percent decarbonized grid is nothing but an optimization problem.”—Matthew Some companies have landed on thermal storage.

2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. Molten salt nuclear reactors fueled by thorium were first investigated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the 1950s.

Mimicking the process that fuels the sun, the hydrogen ions—isotopes called deuterium and tritium—will accelerate and collide with such force that they fuse into helium and release highly energetic neutrons. Inertial confinement compresses and heats a target filled with fuel—often using lasers—to kick-start a reaction.

Renewable energy integration involves the incorporation of renewable energy sources into existing energy systems, such as electrical grids or heating systems. The primary goal is to increase the share of clean and sustainable energy in the overall energy mix, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating environmental impacts.

Using liquified gases also reduces fire risk because the gas very quickly evaporates from a damaged battery cell, removing fuel that could burn and cause the battery to catch fire. The rare earth oxide then undergoes a molten-salt electrolysis process that converts it into a solid metal form.
