Renewable energy storage must undergo massive growth if Australia is to achieve net zero by 2050. A new report from the CSIRO and supported by ARENA funding, says between 10 to 14 times more storage could be needed in the coming decades to support the National Electricity Market (NEM). The Renewable Energy Storage Roadmap forecasts …

High-temperature heat recovery from a solar reactor for the thermochemical redox splitting of H2O and CO2
The solar splitting of H2O and CO2 via a thermochemical redox cycle offers a viable pathway for producing sustainable drop-in fuels for the transportation sectors. The key performance metric is its solar-to-fuel energy efficiency, which is strongly dependent on the ability to recover heat during the temperature swing between the reduction and oxidation steps. High-temperature heat …
