…hour-by-hour data from 2020. EV charging and smart energy systems screen as the best new opportunities. Gas-fired backups also remain crucial to ensure grid stability. The outlook for grid-scale batteries…
Solid state batteries promise 2x higher energy density than traditional lithium ion, with 3x faster charging and lower risk of fires. Thus they could re-shape global energy, especially heavy trucks….
…has up to 10x higher energy density than graphite as an anode material, but it is prone to swelling 300-400% when charging/discharging, and Enovix’s silicon anode solution aims to overcome…
…It currently looks challenging to generate acceptable IRRs without charging a disposal fee in the range of $1,700-2,000/ton. Although this could change through improved chemistries and more highly automated processes….
…The data-file contains our estimates for the typical power consumption (in Watts) for 30 types of electronic devices, such as Air Conditioners, Ceiling fans, Chargers, Clothes Dryers, Coffee-machines, Computers, Dishwashers,…
…possibly also biogas or hydrogen. Our build-up looks across five main categories: large power facilities, large industrial heating facilities, landfill gas, electric vehicle charging and smaller-scale commercial and multi-family usage….
…We have quantified the opportunity in large-scale power (page 4), industrial heat (page 5), landfill gas (page 5), EV fast-charging (page 6) and smaller-scale residential/commercial systems (page 6). The costs…
…small municipal gas network might serve a few thousand to a few tens of thousands of customers, charging around $700 per household per year (60mcf pa at $12/mcf) (note below),…
