The extent to which renewables should dominate Australia’s energy grids is a major issue in science and politics. But limits to these technologies can undermine the case for a renewables-only electricity mix. But a new way to firm up the world’s electricity grids is fast developing: sodium-ion batteries.

Aqua Metals has pioneered a new electro-hydrometallurgy process that uses renewable electricity and recycles the chemicals used. Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out. Aqua Metals has developed a process that it says is much cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective.

Using low-carbon fuels or biofuels as the source of heat energy to process lithium and manufacture li-ion batteries would cut carbon emissions by half as per world banks study. [4] tons of GHG each year assuming 50% energy generation from renewable energy [3,6]. tons of GHG (greenhouse gasses) per electric car [3].

The area, said to be the driest region on earth, has long been a premier source of sodium nitrate, or saltpeter. A nearby chemical plant processes the slurry into lithium carbonate powder suitable for making batteries for automotive propulsion. One of the richest deposits of lithium ore is in Chile’s Atacama Desert. VIRGIL ANDREI.

Solar panels are currently being distributed at a rate of more than 400 gigawatts per year, and the rate is expected to increase to a whopping 3 TW per year by 2030, according to a literature analysis by researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Their pilot plant processes only about seven modules a day.
