USA’s Battery500 Initiative Has Achieved Li-Metal Battery Energy Density Of 350 Wh/kg
Toward the end of President Obama’s time in office, the US Department of Energy (DOE) launched a “Battery500 Consortium.” The goal is in the name: reaching 500 Wh/kg battery energy density with lithium-metal battery cells, a target which was reportedly triple the battery energy density at the time.
Stanford Study Examines Hydrogen As A Commercially Viable Storage Medium For Renewable Energy
Researchers at Stanford and TUM claim excess renewable energy could be used to make zero-emissions hydrogen at a profit in the right circumstances. They expect the process will get less costly once the technology ramps up.
Stanford Study Shows Realigned Wind Turbines Can Boost Output Of Wind Farms
Researchers at Stanford have discovered that directing the wake of one wind turbine away from others can boost the output of a wind farm substantially.
Stanford Maps 1.47 Million Solar Roofs in America
Researchers at Stanford University have managed to create a map of almost every solar rooftop in America, pulling together satellite images and extracting the information. The DeepSolar data, based on Google’s Inception V3, is the first publicly available, high-fidelity solar installation database in the contiguous United States, the researchers say.
Stanford University Holds Inaugural Global Energy Forum

While America was focused on the upcoming election, and before Global Warming rendered most of Northern California completely uninhabitable, the leaders in energy production got together on a beautiful day at Stanford to discuss the future of energy. Not just clean energy, but all energy.
Tesla Sales, EV Sales In Europe & China, & Next-Gen Batteries! (Cleantech Talk Today #9)
Tesla had more news, as usual. We also had a lot of fun talking about the Chinese and European EV markets. And then: The Batteries.
11 Real-World Climate Progress Stories
As climate talks stall, it’s clear the UN process is no longer the major driving force of the climate transition. But does that matter?
Failure To Mitigate Climate Change Could Cost Trillions, Finds Stanford Study
A team of researchers from Stanford University have determined that failure to meet climate mitigation goals set out in the Paris Climate Agreement could cost the planet trillions over the next century, highlighting less the climate and environmental benefits of achieving these targets but more the economic risks attendant with ignoring these targets.
Battery Researchers Keep Coming Up With New Breakthroughs
Batteries are the key to the zero carbon future, there’s little argument about that. But today’s batteries are less than ideal in many respects. They cost too much, are too big, weigh too much, function poorly in low temperatures, are prone to catch fire under certain circumstances, or simply don’t … [continued]
