Chemists have successfully produced fuels using water, carbon dioxide and visible light through artificial photosynthesis. Green energy technology is now one step closer to using excess carbon dioxide to store solar energy.
Scientists in Sweden have developed a specialized fluid, called a solar thermal fuel, that can store energy from the sun for well over a decade.
Elon Musk wins bet, finishing massive battery installation in 100 days in Australia.
One can sell the unused, clean energy generated by solar panels to their next-door neighbors - it is how a newfangled “microgrid” established in one New York, US neighborhood already works.
The plans, the prototypes, the power-pumping: These batteries are hints of the future.
Google parent company, Alphabet, aspires to revolutionize the way we store and utilize renewable energy.
Tesla’s big Australian battery will demonstrate how renewable energy can be stored in significant quantities. The battery will supply 30,000 homes.
The pole-mounted unit is able to store the equivalent energy of approximately 2,100 smartphone batteries and it is unique - it doesn't have a footprint as it is attached to existing power poles.
A combination of two ordinary materials – graphite and water – could produce energy storage systems that perform on par with lithium ion batteries, but recharge in a matter of seconds and have an almost indefinite lifespan.
