As electric utilities and policymakers seek solutions for storing and dispatching energy on demand, concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) is once again gaining traction. Solar-thermal systems use sun-tracking mirrors to reflect sunlight onto a receiver, which contains a high-temperature fluid that stores heat. It's flexible.

Researchers are working on ways to store more energy in the cathode materials by increasing nickel content. Nickel-rich cathode materials have real potential to store more energy. These carry advantages for storing and discharging energy faster. (Image courtesy of Jie Xiao | Pacific Northwest National Laboratory).

A central problem of renewable energy technology lies in the great variation of energy generated (i.e., In this scenario, excess renewable electricity can be used to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen, in turn, is then reacted with carbon dioxide to make methanol and water, thus allowing it to be stored as a liquid.

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. Just like we put food in the refrigerator, we can store it for days or weeks without eating it immediately or discarding it. So what exactly is energy storage? Mechanical storage.

The winning concepts were: A molten air battery that uses a molten salt electrolyte at elevated temperature from Professor Stuart Licht at George Washington University. The Open Innovation Contest, initiated by BASF at the beginning of February, aims to find ideas for the storage of energy from renewable energy sources.
