Hydrogen-bromide flow batteries could soon power the renewable energy industry (but release a dangerous, toxic gas)
An energy storage concept from the Radical ’60s could solve the biggest problem of the wind energy sector. In an article published in ScienceDaily, Kansas researchers have developed a viable hydrogen-bromine flow battery that could store excess electricity during the night. Anyone who has been in the Midwest is bound to run across a wind farm sooner […]

Ancient technology provides solution for energy storage
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are re-adapting ancient technology as a low-cost method to store carbon-free energy, effectively removing one of the main barriers to its large-scale adoption. Firebricks, which are essentially clay items designed to withstand high temperatures, can be incorporated into a system which would convert excess electricity into heat […]
