Better batteries will get us to an electrified future. Mike De Socio. Wed, 06/02/2021 - 00:04. The mass adoption of electric vehicles — and, well, electric everything — will rely heavily on cheap, dependable batteries. While the cost of lithium-ion batteries has dropped dramatically , the technology still leaves something to be desired. Creating new types of batteries that are lighter, lower-cost and more durable will allow big jumps in the performance of electric vehicles and devices.

Solar energy is the energy generated using Sun’s light (photovoltaic energy) and sun’s heat (solar thermal energy) to generate electricity. Solar energy is inexhaustible and renewable, and it is harnessed using panels and reflectors. Photovoltaic solar cells convert sunlight directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, by which certain materials can absorb photons (light particles).

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
