MIT team improves liquid metal batteries for grid-scale storage; lower operating temperature, cost

Green Car Congress

Professor Donald Sadoway and colleagues have already started a company, Ambri (initially Liquid Metal Battery Corporation), to produce electrical-grid-scale liquid batteries, which comprise layers of molten material which automatically separate due to their differing densities. Earlier post.). —Donald Sadoway. That was a stunner for us.

New $30M ARPA-E program to develop new solar conversion and storage technologies; targeting higher solar penetration in mix

Green Car Congress

Despite the technology and deployment advances made by solar photovoltaics (PV), the current high-cost electricity storage options will likely limit PV penetration to less than about 5% of US primary energy before significant PV curtailments will be needed at times of high solar availability, ARPA-E said.
