The energy sector is facing unprecedented challenges, with the global Covid-19 pandemic complicating an already difficult transition toward a low-carbon future . Humankind will meet the challenge and hopefully come out of the other side in a better shape. One of the key elements in both addressing the current pandemic and continuing to advance progress in the fight against climate change is engaging in forward-thinking collaborations in technology development and innovation, which has long been a hallmark of MIT's approach to problem solving.
MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) and Energy Initiative (MITEI) are pleased to present this special webinar series by assembling leading researchers and experts in the energy domain to present their views on these important energy innovation -related themes.

"Engineering can do anything" and may take some time at proportioned cost.., but at least the efforts are made.

I use to talk with the inventor of Modern Vanadium Redox Batteries Marie from the University of NSW in Australia in the mid to late 80's. Encouraging her to approach our Government but just hit a brick wall. She had talks with the Chinese to have them put into a Bus System. And a few countries such as Canada, USA, Japan and Germany ended up building container size batteries for mostly UPS use.

Due to the news of recent weeks in the world, I believe that many innovative solutions that did not have space, will now be considered ...

Anyone see retiring supertankers repurposed to flow batteries amid offshore windfarms instead of third world scrapyards?

That's a brilliant idea, I've also seen proposals for storing electrolytes in the subsurface in geological formations.

@garethbaus5471 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely want to make an electrolyte that won't corrode the tanks, and won't be an ecological nightmare if it spills before we try something like this.

I am guessing they need maintenance to keep from sinking dumping S02H04 into the sea, Harbor or land-locked dry dock. So what does it cost to coat the inside of an old tanker with a plastic that is completely resistant sulphuric acid. $35 - $80 is my guess! Whoops, the decimal point is off 8 places, maybe 12? My calculator needs batteries.

Is'nt Tesla already producing Li Ion batteries below 100$/kWh and are decreasing the cost dramatically within the next years? At minute 11:09 he mentions that the price will be around 100-200$/kWh..

@aeversaelectricthings9034 3 жыл бұрын

As I understand it, they are still well above $200/KWh at the moment

li-ion battery costs should go down considerably in the next 10-20 years, but since everyone's rushing to get a hold of lithium there might not be enough of it for everyone, so people are also working on other types of energy storage solutions.

@@NaumRusomarov, li-Sulfur batteries are the future Lithium-sulfur battery cells offer four times more density than lithium-ion ones. That translates into a phone battery lasting four times longer, and an electric car traveling that much farther. Their catalytic element sulfur costs less than cobalt or manganese, on which the lithium-ion process depends. Smaller battery size.

Anything organic yet, rather than expensive and toxic vanadium?

@markhaus 3 жыл бұрын

Linköping University has proven in the lab that organic materials can be used instead of Vanadium as an electron exchanger. Doesn't last as long, but is so cheap that it's still preferable in price.
