Why higher energy prices shouldn't be a shock and how to manage the impact
It should come as little surprise that wholesale energy prices are on the rise again and remain highly volatile. The wholesale energy market is heavily impacted by the oil market and so we have seen energy commodity costs tracking dramatically higher oil prices as that market recovers from the doldrums. At the time of writing (17 September 2018), power commodity prices were 50.26% % higher than ...

Repurposing Methylene Blue in Flow Batteries
Methylene blue consists of a blue dye used in the textile industry. A new study, published in mid-August 2018, reveals that the dye can be repurposed for use in redox flow batteries. After establishing that the chemical compound has electrochemical properties, chemists at the University of Buffalo divulged that, as an active ingredient, it can be used to store energy. In the textile industry, ...

Q&A: MIT Professor Donald Sadoway On The Future Of Battery Storage and Renewable Energies
For over two thousands years, scientists have experimented with ways to capture the energy of the sun. Archimedes in 212 BC, for instance, famously rigged a system of mirrors that was used to spark fires aboard enemy ships—sort of like an ancient heat ray. Over time, the methods of capturing solar energy have obviously evolved (and perhaps become a bit less dramatic) but there are ...
