Could solid-state storage help accelerate the transition to a net-zero emissions economy?

The project also aims to identify the most beneficial uses of solid-state storage of clean renewable hydrogen. At scale, this technology could help accelerate the transition to a net-zero emissions economy by increasing the availability of resilient, on-site renewable power generation and storage.

Where is Alliant Energy demonstrating a CO2 long-duration energy storage system?

Locations: Pacific, WI Project Summary: Through the Columbia Energy Storage project, Alliant Energy plans to demonstrate a compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) long-duration energy storage (LDES) system at the soon-to-be retired coal-fired Columbia Energy Center power station in Pacific, Wisconsin.

Can repurposed lithium-ion EV batteries be used in LDEs systems?

Smartville, Inc. plans to help solve this issue by demonstrating the viability of repurposed lithium-ion electric EV batteries in LDES systems across a range of use cases, environments, and sizes—from smaller scale (50kW x 10 hour) to larger scale (200kW x 10 hour).
