MIT Professor Donald Sadoway On The Future Of Battery Storage And Renewable Energies For over two thousands years, scientists have experimented with ways to capture the energy of the sun. Archimedes in 212 BC, for instance, famously rigged a system of mirrors that was used to spark fires aboard enemy ships—sort of like an ancient … Continue reading #MIT Professor Donald Sadoway On The Future Of Battery Storage And Renewable Energies→
How Batteries Went From Primitive Power to Global Domination For an energy source that’s been around for three decades, the lithium-ion battery is only just hitting its stride. It’s worked its way up from primitive cellular phones to cameras and laptops before entering everyone’s pockets inside smartphones. But only now that the electric car has … Continue reading How Batteries Went From Primitive Power to Global Domination→
Falling battery costs to push solar, wind to 50% electricity by 2050 BNEF predicts that solar PV capacity will grow 17-fold, and wind six-fold, by 2050, to account for nearly half of global electricity generation. Investments will reach $11.5 trillion. Cost reductions will drive this charge, particularly in the battery market. Despite this, the electricity … Continue reading Falling battery costs to push solar, wind to 50% electricity by 2050→
