Boston’s Form Energy is building a commercial-scale pilot of a remarkable new grid-scale battery project that could make a huge contribution to long-term energy storage as the world moves away from fossil fuels. These simple iron-air batteries store up… Continue reading Disruptive iron-air grid-scale battery is 10% the cost of lithium
As renewable forms of power like wind and solar continue to gain prominence, there will be a need for creative solutions when it comes to storing energy from sources that are intermittent by nature. One potential solution is known as a molten salt batt… Continue reading New molten salt battery for grid-scale storage runs at low temp and cost
Solar and wind are the stars of the show when it comes to renewable energy, but we’re starting to see some exciting progress in turbines that harness the power of the planet’s tidal patterns. Looking to leverage all that motion in the ocean is UK start… Continue reading Modular, floating tidal energy system passes a key “20-year test”
One hurdle standing in the way of a transition to renewable energy is the increased need for mining that these technologies bring. Now, Oxford scientists are investigating a new way to mine valuable metals trapped in hot brines beneath volcanoes – with… Continue reading Volcanic brine mines could be green sources of copper, gold and lithium
Germany’s Svevind has announced plans for a colossal green hydrogen project that will place some 45 gigawatts of wind and solar energy generation on the vast steppes of Kazakhstan to produce around three million tonnes of green hydrogen annually.

In many countries, long, dark winters limit the amount of solar energy that can be generated for much of the year. That’s where the Underground Sun Conversion system comes in, as it’s intended to use sunlight to help produce natural gas deep undergroun… Continue reading Underground Sun Conversion tech uses sunlight to produce natural gas
Engineers go to great lengths to maximize the exposure of wind turbines, placing blades atop tall towers on the crests of hills or miles off shore over the wild, unprotected ocean. A new study has thrown up an interesting curve ball that could open up … Continue reading Surprising study shows how wind turbines can work better behind hills
Norway’s Wind Catching Systems (WCS) has made a spectacular debut with a colossal floating wind turbine array it says can generate five times the annual energy of the world’s biggest single turbines – while reducing costs enough to be immediately compe… Continue reading 1,000-foot multi-rotor floating Windcatchers to power 80,000 homes each
With a view to one day developing transparent solar cells that can double as windows in homes and other buildings, an international team of scientists has demonstrated a new type of transparent electrode that can function as a key building block. The b… Continue reading Transparent electrode lays foundation for see-through solar cells
Perovskite solar cells are advancing at a rapid rate, and is drawing interest from scientists working to not just boost their performance but better understand how they offer such incredible, ever-increasing efficiencies. By turning their tools to pero… Continue reading New state of matter unlocks a secret of perovskite solar cells
