Technology and R&D

These companies are producing solar energy generating windows, flexible surfaces, and blinds as a creative, distributed way to meet the energy demand of buildings.

Robots and drones with deep learning computer vision and advanced imaging cameras are changing the landscape of inspections for renewable energy sites and associated equipment.

The company’s silicon-oxide anode material can increase battery capacity in the 18650 form factor by an initial 12% at a potentially commercially competitive price.

The two companies will work together to deliver a safe, sustainable, and cost-effective lithium-ion battery recycling solution for end-of-life energy storage systems.

Also on the rise: Intel will work with EIC to develop long-term energy storage approaches for data centers, and while 2020 was a downer for most of us, renewables did very well.

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage projects must double every five years to achieve net zero, IHS Markit says in a new report.

Dubbed Gismo Power, the appliance is entirely mobile, can be grid-connected, and may be folded for storage.

The collector is built with a low-cost holographic optical element and a diffuser and can be easily embedded into conventional PV modules, according to its creators.

Enertopia filed provisional patents for technology that it said will use excess heat from PV modules as part of its lithium-extraction process in the Nevada desert.

Berkeley Lab’s Renewables and Wholesale Electricity Prices tool allows users to compare pricing trends across locations, regions, and timeframes, down to the nodal level.
