The continued focus on renewable energy has led researchers to find new and improved long-term energy storage systems. While batteries made from lithium and other minerals have proven useful for energy farms, they are not sustainable, especially on a global scale.

Fortunately, with the continuous investment in research and development, there are potential solutions. These include commercial-scale ‘sand batteries’ from Finland and Switzerland’s 20 million kWh ‘water battery’, which is now operational after 14 years of development.

Space-based solar power has the potential to deliver a continuous supply of energy 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which would be an enormous benefit for the world’s energy requirements. While the amount of energy that space-based solar power could collect is staggering, there are some obstacles to overcome. In this article, we take a closer look at space-based solar power and the new 246-foot tower China has built to test such a system.

In an attempt to solve the biggest weakness of solar energy storage, the Italian company Energy Dome has secured funding for its CO2 Battery. The funds will go toward developing and demonstrating the technology which will greatly improve solar energy storage; something that is currently lacking with today’s batteries. Discover how it works and what the future might look like with more effective, low-cost solar energy storage.

The shipping industry is vital for world trade as 90% of goods are transported by sea. However, it is also one of the most carbon-intensive industries along with aviation that contributes to climate change due to its reliance on fossil fuels. This brings us to the decarbonisation of the maritime sector but it is easier said than done. In this article, discover three incredibly innovative projects that could set the tone for decarbonising global shipping.
