For several months now, 20 teams of Australian high-school students have been designing fuel-cell cars to compete in the country’s inaugural Hydrogen Grand Prix. The task: make the most of a 30-watt fuel cell and 14 grams of hydrogen gas. And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot.

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?

These vehicles use large traction battery packs to power the motor. Because EVs run on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components in ICEVs. If it’s manufactured on a ‘dirty’ power grid it becomes a major source of emissions over the EV lifecycle.
