Solar Thermal Tech To Alternate Batteries
Solar thermal technology shows potential to alternate batteries using mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight and generate heat, storing thermal energy in molten salts to use when there is no sunlight.

Water heaters can not only be used for heating water, but also as energy storage devices, storing excess electricity as thermal energy while being a cost effective alternative for electrochemical batteries.
Japan was the first to release a National Hydrogen Strategy, nearly a decade ago, but they are still far from achieving their hydrogen goals, facing various challenges which are causing a delay in the progress.
Green ammonia, which can be used a fuel for on-site power generation in data centers, can potentially be better than hydrogen as it is easier to handle as a way to store and transport green energy.
Heat Batteries, which can store heat produced by clean electricity in stacks of bricks for later use, is a new tech that a growing number of companies think can be the potential solution for thermal storage and carbon capture.
Ann Arbor Energy Commission in Michigan is fighting against climate challenges by calling on and urging city leaders to ban natural gas usage, proclaiming that it is a climate emergency .
The Irish Company Silicate Carbon, with the innovation to help farmers reduce their carbon footprint and balance soil’s pH, has won the THRIVE Shell Climate Smart Agriculture Challenge, receiving a $100,000 grant as prize.
A city in upstate New York, Ithaca, is using a miniature version of Green New deal, a plan for one hundred percent clean, renewable energy by 2030, to become the first to go all electric and carbon neutral.
Heat pump water heaters, with their energy-saving potential, is not just a energy saving equivalent of seven solar panels but also costs less than one-sixth the price, offering reductions in both pollution and cost.
By the end of the year, Israel-based Brenmiller is to be one of the first to create a complete gigawatt-scale manufacturing. Their bGen system uses heat to break rocks and store thermal energy for a long duration.
