Liquid battery providing large scale energy storage solution
Here are excerpts from an MIT article about a very promissing new energy storage technology that could provide solutions at a utility scale to address the intermitent nature of some renewable energy sources. ### From MIT: Professor Donald Sadoway’s research in energy storage could help speed the development of renewable energy. By: David L. Chandler There’s one major drawback to most proposed renewable-energy sources: their variability. The sun... [Read More...]
US Department of Energy funds MIT related technologies
MIT: An engine of energy innovation — By: Timothy Heidel G and Melanie Kenderdine, MITEI DOE makes awards for transformative energy technologies Question: What do liquid-metal batteries, water-splitting catalysts, wafers from molten silicon, nanotube-enhanced ultracapacitors, and plant cell wall-degrading enzymes have in common? Answer: These novel clean energy technologies were recently deemed to be potentially “transformative” by the U.S.... [Read More...]
Turn your house into a Power Plant
New research at MIT has opened the door to a 24 hour energy solution using the sun and solar energy. Plants store their energy in the evening and their is an abundance of energy during the day to allow for overnight storage. The amount of energy falling on the Earth in one hour is equivalent to all of the energy needs of the planet for an entire year. New and efficient ways of splitting hydrogen and oxygen and storing the energy in a fuel cell in... [Read More...]
