The system aims to decrease the levelized cost of electricity for natural gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) power plants to 2 emissions when operating in highly variable renewable energy penetration markets. The team’s approach uses a novel and low-cost heat-pump thermal storage system. Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Together, our inventions achieve what lithium-ion has yet to do—meet the ultra-low cost targets of the grid and transportation industries. By 2020 our battery costs will be less than $100 a kilowatt-hour (kWh). 24M says it is presenting a third option. Earlier post.). 24M has fixed the flaws. Click to enlarge.

MIT professor Donald Sadoway and his team have demonstrated a long-cycle-life calcium-metal-based liquid-metal rechargeable battery for grid-scale energy storage, overcoming the problems that have precluded the use of the element: its high melting temperature, high reactivity and unfavorably high solubility in molten salts.

Steven Kaye: ONE’s anode-free cell advantages include high energy density (thin lithium metal anode), low cost (no anode present during cell assembly, low-cost liquid electrolyte), and abundant raw materials (mostly manganese, zero cobalt). The challenge is that anode-free cells still have low cycle life.
