Undecided - How A Brick & Rock Battery Is Changing Energy Storage, 25012023

How A Brick & Rock Battery Is Changing Energy Storage - Grid-scale lithium ion batteries are our current go-to chemical energy storage solution, but they present their own challenges in safety, sustainability, cost, and longevity. However, new forms of thermal energy storage systems are on the rise that use abundant, cheap materials such as a brick battery and another using a crushed volcanic rock battery

Engineering with Rosie - Building Blocks for Energy Storage: MGA Thermal tour 29112022

Thermal energy storage is one of the hot technologies of the energy transition. In this video you'll see a take on this from MGA Thermal, who Rosie visited a few months ago in Newcastle and got a tour of their new pilot facility that they're in the process of putting together. Rosie found out about the technology, the manufacturing process and applications and scale up plans

Innovative Techs - How sand batteries could change the rules of the energy storage game, 06082022

Mankind is constantly looking for ways to conserve energy. Among them are lithium-ion batteries, gas storage, pumped storage hydropower, and gravity energy storage systems. All options have their advantages and disadvantages, so scientists do not stop looking for new technologies and methods. For example, to store energy, literally, in the sand. How can the world's first commercial sand battery installed in Finland be a game changer in green energy storage? Find out about it in this video!

Undecided - Are Stirling Engines the Future of Renewable Energy Storage? 16032021

Due to the rise of intermittent renewable energy sources, we’ve seen increased demand for new energy storage technologies, like batteries, pumped storage hydropower and flywheels. But a 200-year-old invention (the Stirling Engine) combined with thermal energy storage might be a promising solution?

Just have a Think - The 'Sand Battery' that heats your home, NOT the planet, 21082022

The global energy crisis is starting to really hurt, and the prospects for winter fuel prices are starting to look pretty bleak for millions of people in the Northern hemisphere. So how do we get ourselves off our hopeless dependence on fossil fuels? And if the alternative is intermittent renewables then how are we going to keep our homes constantly warm during the colder months? Perhaps our friends in Scandinavia can provide some answers…
