Over the past decade, prices for solar panels and wind farms have reached all-time lows. However, the price for lithium ion batteries, the leading energy storage technology, has remained too high. So researchers are exploring other alternatives, including flow batteries, thermal batteries, and gravity-based systems. Video produced by CNBC
The demand for electric vehicles is booming worldwide. Governments in Europe are making plans to phase out fuel-burning cars. But there are warnings the continent’s economy risks falling behind if it allows Asia to dominate the development and sale of batteries. Now a continent-wide research programme is fighting to avoid its transport industry from becoming …

Made out of lightweight lithium and carbon, lithium ion batteries are favored for many rechargeable purposes. They have a high-energy density and can be recharged hundreds of times. But what makes Lithium-ion batteries so special? Video produced by: Seeker
Hydrogen is a clean-burning molecule, meaning that it can help to decarbonize a range of sectors that have proved hard to clean up in the past. But today, most hydrogen is produced from CO2-emitting fossil fuels. Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity, known as green hydrogen, could be the solution to cutting our carbon footprint. But …
