Lithium-ion batteries are great energy storage for laptops, small electronics and EV’s but it’s not always the best method for storing renewable energy for long durations and at larger capacities.
This is where sand comes into action! Helping the world to achieve carbon neutrality in the built environment. As we implement more renewable energy sources to power our buildings, industries, and the grid with solar and wind, we need continuous power even when the sun and wind are not available.
To meet this energy storage challenge, scientist… Continue reading
