Total has signed a research agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop new stationary batteries that are designed to enable the storage of solar power. This agreement valued at $4 million over five years is part of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), which Total joined as a member in November 2008.

Aqua Metals has pioneered a new electro-hydrometallurgy process that uses renewable electricity and recycles the chemicals used. We take that black mass as the input to our process, which is then powered by 100% renewable, carbon-free energy. We’re a little behind in that part, but we have passed the IRA recently.

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. An important one, Sprenkle adds, is understanding the value of that stored energy. “A

However, lithium is sourced almost exclusively from other countries, either concentrated using a solar evaporation process from natural brine sources or recovered from ore. Those brines can contain as much as 250 to 300 parts-per-million lithium. These plants pump hot water from geothermal deposits and use it to generate electricity.

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. Because solar and wind energy are intermittent, producing energy only when the sun shines or the wind blows, a method to capture and store energy for later use is needed.

The batteries that use sodium instead of the pricey and rare lithium are the ones that are the closest to being on the market. The charge point operator (CPO) can store grid energy when it is affordable or locally produced solar energy and utilise it as backup power for rapid DC charging or during peak hours when electricity is costly.
