The 5 Most Promising Long-Duration Storage Technologies Left Standing

GreenTechMedia

And the lithium-ion batteries that supply 99 percent of new storage capacity today get very expensive if you try to stretch them out over many hours. This dates from way before lithium-ion’s heyday, and still provides some 95 percent of U.S. The problem is, no clear winner has emerged to play that long-duration role.

The secret to decarbonizing buildings might be right under your feet

Grist

Unlike a flammable lithium ion battery, though, this one is perfectly stable, free to use, and ripe for sustainable exploitation: the Earth itself. I really don’t think there’s any more efficient or better way to heat and cool our homes.” The project in Framingham, then, could be the start of something big.

Interview – Celsius Energy and decarbonizing buildings using shallow geothermal systems

ThinkGeoEnergy

Heating and cooling buildings accounts for about a third of the final energy consumption globally and 30% of energy-related CO 2 emissions. With global temperatures rising, the need for cooling is expected to increase dramatically in the next few years. Heating and cooling buildings is 80% of that energy used.
