Batteries beyond EVs—everything you need to know about stationary storage
"The world will need nearly 600 GWh of battery energy storage by the end of the decade in order to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, according to estimates from the International Energy Agency (IEA). In 2021, there was less than 60 GWh of battery storage capacity, according to estimates from energy research firms Rho Motion and Wood Mackenzie."
Europe Needs Natural Gas And America Could Help—If We Could Get Out Of Our Own Way
"Exporting more liquefied natural gas to Europe would create good-paying jobs here and provide EU countries with a friendly supplier they could rely on while they increase their own energy production, whether that be more gas production, nuclear plants, solar power, or something else."
Shellworks wants to crack makeup’s single-use plastic problem
"Shellworks’ first plastic-like product was developed using shellfish waste, but less than a year into its existence the startup pivoted to using a fat-like substance extracted from bacterial cells, which 'behaves like a natural polyester' and is vegan, according to co-founder and chief product officer Amir Afshar."
This Startup Figured Out How to Contain Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Costs-and Concerns
"X-energy's advances may sweep away those concerns--and costs. The company is commercializing next-gen nuclear. It makes fuel by wrapping specks of uranium in layers of carbon and ceramic, and then encasing those bits in graphite balls, which flow through its Xe-100 reactor like gumballs through a dispenser. When a neutron hits the uranium inside a fuel pebble, the shell keeps the neutron from moving too quickly, which makes for a safe chain reaction. The fuel ball never gets hot enough to melt, and it contains the fission products. All of the nuclear waste from X-energy reactions ends up encased in the graphite orbs."
Can Natural Gas Be Used to Create Power With Fewer Emissions?
John Schwartz of The New York Times writes about carbon-free natural gas. “That’s where fans of NET Power say the company can make a difference: its technology burns natural gas without causing the biggest problems fossil fuels typically do. It combusts a combination of natural gas and oxygen inside a circulating stream of high-temperature carbon...

VW And Audi To Recycle EV Batteries Through Tesla Cofounder’s Company
"The global surge in demand for lithium-ion batteries to power electric cars and trucks is stressing the supply chain for internationally sourced commodity minerals like lithium, nickel and cobalt, all of which are trading at or near record-high levels. Currently, lithium costs nearly $75,000 a ton, according to Trading Economics, while nickel runs about $22,000 per ton. Redwood believes large-scale battery recycling infrastructure is the best way to manage tight supplies."
Fewer Cures, Costlier Energy
"In short, Congress is about to make a near half-trillion-dollar bet on the wrong horse. The bill will make America poorer and less competitive, and it will cost lives."
