Proton battery promises cheap and sustainable energy storage

Manufacturer's Monthly

Andrews said the proton battery avoids the energy-wasting steps of storing hydrogen gas at high pressure, and then splitting these gas molecules again in fuel cells. Our proton battery has much lower losses than conventional hydrogen systems, making it directly comparable to lithium-ion batteries in terms of energy efficiency.”

Seaweed-based battery powers confidence in sustainable energy storage

E&T

This work really demonstrates that greener forms of energy storage are possible, without being destructive to the environment in their production”. This means we wouldn’t have to rely on scarce materials such as lithium, which is often mined unethically and uses a great deal of natural resources, such as water, to extract it.

Modified trains could harvest CO2 directly from the air

E&T

Each of these processes is powered exclusively by onboard-generated sustainable energy sources that require no external energy input or off-duty charging cycles. Currently, this energy is dissipated on trains in the form of heat and discharged out of the top of the locomotive during every braking manoeuvre.
