At a power station in Berlin, Germany, visitors find a shining piece of machinery that looks out of place in the building. Its silver pipes and containers hold a substance that reportedly could…
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has released a Renewable Energy Innovation Outlook series on how policy and technological breakthroughs for electrical vehicles (EVs) can advance the…
In order to provide a leg-up to the power storage industry — which is still in a nascent stage in the country — the government is coming up with 400 MW of renewable energy tenders for round-the-clock…
Solid-state sodium-ion batteries are far safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries, which pose a risk of fire and explosions, but their performance has been too weak to offset the safety…
File this one under K for Karma. US coal power plants have spent the past few decades messing with the nation’s water resources, and now water is turning around and messing with coal. The Energy…
A materials science lab at Rice University has developed a relatively green lithium ion battery recycling process that allows for the retention and subsequent reuse of valuable component elements…
Once leaving Britain’s highest carbon footprint with their total reliance on fossil-fuel-generated power from the mainland, Orcadians took matters into their own hands about 20 years ago.
This move…
The capacity of energy storage systems around the world is set to increase thirteenfold over six years, from 12 gigawatt-hours of installed capacity in 2018 to an astonishing 158 GWh in 2024,…
The zero-emission e-Trikes are designed to reduce road danger, congestion and air pollution to help reduce CO2 emissions in urban areas.
The e-Trikes will operate in Stratford, Cambridge &…
Prices for lithium-ion battery storage as well as offshore wind have fallen more sharply than other clean generation technologies in the past year, according to BloombergNEF (BNEF).
The company’s…
The first phase of a new £28.5m project has been launched to create a virtual energy system in Orkney, Scotland, to digitally link distributed and intermittent renewable generation to flexible demand…
Batteries are critical for our clean energy future. Luckily, their cost has dropped so low, we might be much closer to this future than we previously thought.
Lithium-ion storage battery costs have fallen 35% since the first half of 2018, making unsubsidized renewable energy with storage cost-competitive coal and gas to deliver reliable, “dispatchable”…
Over the past year, several companies have outlined plans to build solar-and-storage systems around the world—from Australia to Arizona and to the heart of the Permian oil patch in West Texas.
Billionaires are spending more on renewable energy, storage, and battery technology. A group of them even set up a US$1-billion fund, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, to encourage research in these…
Bloomberg New Energy Finance finds the long-term costs of multi-hour energy storage can compete with natural gas and coal in an increasing number of markets today.
The long-term cost of supplying…
Energy storage in the United States is expected to triple in 2019 according to Climate Action. That makes for a great headline, but what does it mean? Let’s begin by defining what energy storage is…
The full ranking will appear in the Energy Storage special issue. Last week we presented a thermoelectric energy storage approach by MAN Energy Solutions and yesterday we highlighted third place in…
