Aqua Metals: Can It Join the 'Disruptive' Elite?

Here's the new kid on the block, Aqua Metals Inc. (AQMS), a company that may be on the verge of joining this list of disruptive elite to become the first and only company that has the technological capacity to reinvent the lead-acid recycling industry. As far as Aqua Metals is concerned, smelting, the environmentally poisonous method of recycling lead from used and discarded batteries, should be a thing of the past.

Long-Term Energy Storage: What are the Options When Lithium-ion Falls Short?

Lithium-ion batteries are best positioned to meet the demand for energy storage over the next five to 10 years, but in the long run, other battery storage technologies will be needed for long-term energy storage and larger- scale applications. That’s the word from Lux Research, which recently outlined up-and-coming battery storage technologies in a teleconference. Right now, the need for storage is prompted by the growing use of renewable energy on the grid, said Chris Robins

Warmer Winters Are Making Your Car Batteries More Expensive, Somehow

You know those Final Destination movies? Those movies revolve around these absurdly improbable and convoluted Rube Goldbergian accidents that kill off the main characters.

China turns to energy storage to push renewables

China turns to energy storage to push renewables

Energy storage could boost renewables if the country's government follows through with major power market reforms. Despite another banner year for renewables growth in China, the country’s grid is still struggling to bring clean electricity to consumers. The problem is so serious in China’s north and west that turbines were forced to sit idle for much of 2016. In response, China’s policymakers are now turning to energy storage to boost the grid’s ability to accommodate wind a
