12:19 | Manganese dioxide flow batteries may offer a very cost effective way of bridging the gap between short duration lithium-ion batteries and longer duration technologies like hydrogen.
9:50 | Fossil fuel replacement isn’t enough, Solomon Goldstein-Rose explains in this compelling talk: we need to rapidly develop a new global system capable of producing 12 times the amount of clean electricity we generate today.
12:47 | The launch of the world’s first fully electric wirelessly chargeable car.
28:25 | Green hydrogen produces zero emissions and many believe it holds the key to limiting global warming. So is it the big hope for the future or a multi-billion euro mistake?
14:50 | One UK company have just announced a £16 billion project that will be generating 3.6GW of solar, wind and battery capacity in South Morocco.
11:16 | Now, one company plans to replace the burners in disused coal fired power plants with an energy storage system that can not only provide useful grid balancing power, but also bring gainful employment back to hard working people.
6:50 | Making clean energy isn’t enough: We also have to move it.
7:54 | The business model featuring a one way street of electricity supply will soon be consigned to the history books, replaced by a smart distributed grid with multi-directional imports and exports, often driven by local community schemes. Here’s a great example.
18:55 | The climate emergency requires climate solutions. And fast! A new analysis suggests that 90% of the job could be achieved by just a handful of disruptive technologies that are very real indeed.
11:19 | Energy consumption for heating and cooling is expected to triple in the next thirty years, as populations grow, and more people move into cities. A lot of that energy demand is used in compressing and pumping fluids.
13:58 | A new smart domestic hot water storage tank has been developed that not only heats water 20% more efficiently, but can also use electrical energy when it’s free or even negatively priced.
46:11 | All over the world, storage technologists and battery pioneers are looking for ways to store renewable energy. From developing fast batteries to storing heat in basalt and salt.
14:12 | A UK company has developed a heat pump system based on the principles of the Stirling Engine, using no HFC refrigeration gases and with a 30% saving in energy costs compared to existing systems.
11:18 | The energy storage sector is becoming a pretty crowded field as more and more companies come up with solutions that will be crucial to dealing with the intermittency of renewable technologies.
9:52 | About windmills, coal, natural gas, and the disconnected power grid in Texas.
25:54 | India and China will most likely be key to the success or failure of our transition to a sustainable future. They’re now jostling for geopolitical power too.
5:31 | We built this tiny model town to show what it would look like if we tried to transition to 100% clean energy.
18:00 | Folks in the energy industry are apparently getting quite excited about the concept of hydrogen energy storage in ammonia.
12:11 | Batteries in electric vehicles and electronic devices make up a very large proportion of the overall mass. But what if you didn’t need to bolt the batteries to any part of the bodywork at all?
10:47 | An all organic Redox Flow battery has been developed by a team of researchers in Sweden. Could this be the system that finally makes global grid scale storage a reality?
13:19 | A research team at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri has just published details of a power brick that actually is a brick. A red house brick to be precise.
41:04 | In this video I discuss the relative role nuclear power will play in our future. In short: it’s complicated. But nuclear isn’t essential, merely very useful.
12:31 | Smart grids delivering renewable energy across continents will require extremely long electricity transmission distances. China is tackling the issue by switching from AC to DC power and ramping up the output to 1.1 million volts.
13:22 | Lithium recycling wasn’t considered important ten years ago when fewer than 60,000 electric vehicles were sold worldwide. But today…
15:50 | Dramatic cost reductions, improved efficiencies, and a plethora of new innovations in how to store energy that can be delivered into the grid over long durations have all contributed towards a rapidly changing energy market.
13:11 | This design that utilises tried and tested components that have been reimagined and re-engineered to perform a vital function for electricity grids, now and in the future.
