The Energy Department will announce Friday a $325 million investment in new battery types that can help turn solar and wind energy into 24-hour power
The Energy Department is announcing a $325 million investment in new battery types that can help turn solar and wind energy into 24-hour power it said Friday morning.
The new funding is for “long-term” storage, meaning options that can last for longer than the four hours typical of lithium ion batteries. “As long as these batteries use Earth-abundant materials that are readily available, I do not see any drawbacks,” Lutkenhaus said, alluding to minerals that need to be mined, including lithium.
The Second Life Smart Systems initiative with sites in Georgia, California, South Carolina and Louisiana will use old, but still potent electric vehicle batteries for back-up power for senior centers, affordable housing complexes, and EV chargers.
