The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) announced a trial for a new type of electrolyzer which could see excess renewable energy stored in the gas grid and used to decarbonize Australia’s gas supply. Storing renewable energy directly in the gas network was a logical first route to market for the invention.

Ultimately, Kanan would like to see a scaled-up version of the catalytic cell powered by electricity from the sun, wind or other renewable resource. We have a solution to this problem that’s made of copper, which is cheap and abundant. The team is working to improve the yield for propanol by further tuning the catalyst’s structure.

And, perhaps even better, they would use only cheap, plentiful materials, rather than the rare-earth elements, special steel alloys, and copious quantities of copper found in conventional motors.

The companys plan is to electrochemically strip carbon dioxide out of the ocean, store or use the CO 2 , and then return the water to the sea, where it will naturally absorb more CO 2 from the air. This energy-intensive approach involves passing ambient air through chemical solvents or filters, and then storing or reusing the captured carbon.

Renewable energy can also be under-utilized when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, but demand is lower than supply. This energy can also be stored in onsite batteries for use when grid energy is most expensive. Or you can store grid energy in the batteries when it is cheap and use it to meet peak needs.
