Matt Ferrell on Thorium
[wikipedia.org] Copenhagen Atomics YouTube text: Why Thorium is About to Change the World. Thorium reactors are like the solid-state batteries of nuclear power: vastly superior, yet forever on the horizon. But now, a Danish company is closer than ever to turning them into a reality. These aren’t just thorium reactors — they’re small [ ]
Rosie on Long-Duration Storage
Important message: we need FAR LESS seasonal storage then we anticipated earlier in order to deal with Dunkelflaute , although it does make a difference if you are talking about Australia or, say, Germany. The key message is: don t exaggerate with full decarbonization ambition. Opting for 10-15% fossil fuel/nuclear can eliminate most of the intermittency and [ ]

Ammonia Borane – Room Temperature H2 Breakthrough
Abstract Ammonia borane (NH3BH3) has garnered significant attention as a high-potential hydrogen storage material owing to its exceptional hydrogen content of 19.6 wt%. This remarkable capacity positions it as a promising candidate for energetic applications, including next-generation solid propellants. However, its practical utility in such systems is limited by its inherently low decomposition…

The UK’s Stunning Grid Flip From Coal Giant to Clean Energy Leader
This autumn, for the first time ever, the UK is expecting to run entirely on zero-emissions electricity for a few hours. That doesn’t just mean a sunny day with loads of solar and wind and some exports to the neighbours—that’s happened before. But even during those times, gas power was still online, helping keep the [ ]
The Trouble with Thorium
If Thorium molten salt reactors (MSRs) offer a safer, more efficient, and more scalable alternative to traditional nuclear power, then why isn’t there a single commercial reactor in operation today? In Part 2 of our Thorium adventure, noted Nuclear Zaddy Kyle Hill travels to Denmark to see firsthand why bringing this decades-old technology to market [ ]

Why This Ultra Cheap Battery Breakthrough Matters
Why This Ultra Cheap Battery Breakthrough Matters. Solid state batteries could address some of the biggest issues facing energy storage and EVs; safety, charge capacity, and longevity. But the biggest problem they face? Cost. But there s a new electrode manufacturing technique that apparently uses less energy, less materials, and less factory floor space — all [ ]
Why the Biggest Battery Company is Betting Against Lithium
Why the Biggest Battery Company is Betting Against Lithium. Sodium-ion battery technology isn’t exactly new, but something interesting is happening. CATL, the world’s biggest lithium battery manufacturer, says that up to half the market could switch to sodium. That’s right—the biggest name in lithium batteries is betting against lithium. Looks like lithium might need to [ ]
How Ultra-Efficient CO2 Turbines Are The Future of Energy
Steam turbines have dominated the world of electricity generation for over 100 years now, but engineers across the world have been working on something new, using CO2 instead of steam. Specifically it uses supercritical CO2, which is what makes these turbines more efficient and more powerful. This video looks at how they are doing it. [ ]
Have batteries just hit their exponential curve?
Battery energy storage is one of the critical keys to the success of the energy transition. That idea was written off by naysayers as pure fantasy not all that long ago, but batteries are now the single largest form of energy storage globally, this year surpassing the mighty pumped hydro for the first time. And [ ]
