A team of MIT researchers led by William H. Green, the Hoyt Hottel Professor in Chemical Engineering, is developing a technology that allows liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) not only to deliver hydrogen to the trucks, but also to store the hydrogen onboard. Proposed process flow diagram for onboard dehydrogenation.

Researchers at MIT are proposing using a variation on pumped hydroelectric systems for storage of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. These structures would serve both as anchors to moor the floating turbines and as a means of storing the energy they produce. Earlier post.).

Researchers at MIT have modified the soil bacterium Ralstonia eutropha to produce isobutanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol (branched-chain higher alcohols). What it does is take whatever carbon is available, and stores it in the form of a polymer, which is similar in its properties to a lot of petroleum-based plastics. Earlier post.)

New research by MIT scientists suggests that carbon nanotubes could be used to create elastic energy storage systems with energy densities that could be three orders of magnitude higher than those of conventional steel springs, and comparable to Li-ion batteries with potentially more durability and reliability.

MIT researchers have developed a new system that could potentially be used for converting power plant emissions of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, and thence into useful fuels for cars, trucks, and planes, as well as into chemical feedstocks for a wide variety of products.

In the accumulation cases, oil accumulated and stored in the algal cells is extracted from biomass that is harvested from the growth ponds. The researchers examined three distinct oil recovery options: dry extraction, wet extraction, and secretion. The dry and wet extraction options fall in this class.

This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. The project also includes a proprietary process to convert waste biomass into carbon dioxide and hydrogen to feed the bioreactor, allowing butanol production from waste feedstocks.
