minus-squareTranscendentalEmpire@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoI mean, some breakthroughs with large battery tech would be nice to really take advantage of solar and wind.
minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·9 months agoWe’re pretty much there on flow batteries and a few others. The nice thing about grid storage is that kwh per kg is far less important than it is for EVs. That opens up a ton of other options. Pretty much just need mass production at this point.
minus-squareTranscendentalEmpire@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoHas someone already produced a large-scale long-duration flow battery, like something that can handle a moderate energy grid? I haven’t been following the tech very closely.
