Grid-level Electricity Storage

It has long been understood that if batteries were able to achieve the price and energy storage performance of fossil fuels, the world would be a vastly different place. We would drive cleaner vehicles, the word “intermittency” would not come up in conversations about renewables and the grid, geopolitics in volatile oil producing regions of… read more…

Environmentally Sound Metal Production

Imagine if the by-product of the metal produced in a smelter were oxygen instead of carbon dioxide. Molten oxide electrolysis (MOE), a transformational technology that can dramatically mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from ironmaking, has been successfully demonstrated at the laboratory-bench scale at MIT under sponsorship from the American steel industry through the American Iron and… read more…

Advanced Batteries for Transportation

Working to design the next generation of energy storage technology. Imagining a world in which batteries for a variety of applications are designed from abundant, cheap, and safe materials. Moving away from lithium chemistry without sacrificing performance. Exploring a number of often unconsidered battery candidates to achieve this end. Focusing on systems in early stages… read more…
