NREL explores the complexities of the various technology paths to 100% emission-free electricity in the United States, which include 540 GWac to 1 TWac of solar power being installed by 2035.

The new research center will focus on the development of advanced batteries and fuel cells for electric vehicles.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have developed a battery with two electrodes made of aluminum and sulfur, and a molten salt electrolyte placed between them. They said the sulfur electrodes with a high loading of 12.0 mg cm2 can sustain a high capacity of 520 mAh g–1 over 100 cycles at 5 C.

Researchers built and deployed a nine perovskite solar panel array that showed little generation loss due to high temperatures, and performed better over time than researchers expected.

Project Nexus expects to break ground in fall 2022 and reach completion by the end of 2023.

Also on the rise: Nano-grid home runs solely on DC power. Engineering study begins for 500 MW compressed air energy storage project. And more.

Hydrostor announced it has selected an engineering firm to provide front-end studies for a 500 MW compressed air energy storage project in California.

Where do you find yourself in the pursuit and support of a wind and solar power grid?

A team of researchers at Purdue University are retrofitting a 1920s home to run completely on DC current.

Also on the rise: California to ban gas-powered car sales by 2035. Production tax credit or investment tax credit? And more.
