Offshore WIND magazine #1 out now!

In this edition of Offshore WIND magazine we look at energy storage and what is possible. Should we ask whether offshore wind energy converted into hydrogen is used either as a feedstock that can be used directly by industry, or whether as a fuel to power adapted gas turbine generators, replacing natural gas? In both cases it replaces an unsustainable and less clean situation, and it is available ...

New rechargeable flow battery enables cheaper, large-scale energy storage

Original story at MIT News MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable flow battery that doesn’t rely on expensive membranes to generate and store electricity. The device, they say, may one day enable cheaper, large-scale energy storage. The palm-sized prototype generates three times as much power per square centimeter as other membraneless systems — a power density that is ...
