As the pressure to decarbonize electricity grids mounts, so does the need to have long-term storage options for power generated from renewables. Especially for sources like wind and solar, which have discontinuous availability. He expects the battery to retain over 80% of its charge in that period.

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. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. Technologies include energy storage with molten salt and liquid air or cryogenic storage.
