Decarbonising industry, improving energy storage duration on electricity grid systems, and finding more environmentally friendly ways to make everyday commodities. Three things that most people agree are good goals to strive for. What if a single technology was able to contribute to all of them? Well, here's one that could potentially do just that.

@dianapennepacker6854 3 месяца назад

Yeah and focus on lithium air. Potentially having up to12,000 kwh/kg if we can take the oxyogen out of the air which blows all the other battery chemistries out or the water. Half that if oxyogen needs to be included.

@longjohn526 3 месяца назад

Actually stationary storage is what we need most of all if we want to make Wind and Solar generation efficient and practical on a large scale. Currently with wind if supply is greater than the demand we feed some of it back into the wind generator to slow it down which wastes electricity and also wastes the energy in the wind. With solar there is the problem of no generation at all during low light and night time. The breakthrough in clean energy will not come from the source of generation but in the ability to store all the available energy for later use

Given the clearly flakey energy storage and carbon capture proposals that seem to attract substantial investment the fact that this hasn’t is something of a red flag and suggestive that there may be even more significant hurdles to overcome before such a system can be a reality. But it is great that there is a channel that keeps us abreast of these developments and provides updates. Never apologise for revisiting past innovations Dave, it’s the thing that sets this channel apart from all other media.

It isn't necessarily a red flag. Here in Canada we don't have much of a venture capital sector. There are firms, but they're smaller and much more risk adverse than what you'd see in the US. If Agora manages to get backing from outside the country, then domestic investment will probably be easier to find.

I've no illusion that I'm benefiting anyone with wisdom. I comment to help out the algorithm, and to make sure I understand what the video is saying. It helps a lot. Anyway, thank you for another great video. This is a really clever idea, and for once it's fairly close to home! Agora Energy Technologies is a Vancouver startup, so just on the other side of the mountains. It does sound clever. Energy storage and/or carbon capture. It seems like the best place for these batteries is an industrial park, where some of them could regulate the electricity coming in and others could be put to work making carbonate. If I understand right, the main reason industries don't capture CO2 from their own smokestacks is because it costs money. If they can sell the carbonate that could potentially make the equipment pay for itself.

@AntonOfTheWoods 3 месяца назад

One of the reasons I really love this channel is that it makes things feel real - there is no neo-liberal, tech bro optimism - but it spends a lot of time going through the many, many different technologies that are being researched and optimised. Particularly storage tech. Many don't involve the usual suspects in terms of battery tech, and some aren't even highly toxic for either extraction or recycling at end-of-life. And there are LOTS of them. 95% of them will fail completely and 80% of the rest will be too expensive to make a meaningful difference. Many of those that could really make a change might take a couple of decades more to get there. But what that all means is that actually, at least for the energy thing, we aren't doomed. 1% of 1000 is 10, and that's probably enough. It's not all relying on lithium and traditional solar panels, and that means we could actually force miners and manufacturers to keep to some minimum standards and still make some meaningful progress in terms of volume. What about copper though? Is that going to be one of those "hard" problems that physics is going to stubbornly stop us getting proper alternatives to?

It would make sodium carbonate as the byproduct if fed sodium hydroxide. The separatog would be a proton exchange membrane and bromide/HBr/ Br2 would be the anode side. The materials needed to work with elemental bromine and HBr would be challenging, but SiC/graphite on a metal oxide/ tantalum plated collector should work well. Ordinary stainess steel coated with palladium of patinum loaded carbon would work for the cathode side. In an open cycle, the battery would be charged by creating bicarbonate that creates formate and carbonate as power is being drawn. The formate is the actual chemical created as it runs. Other than the small amounts of precious metals needed it seems like a good idea as formic acid is a useful chemical feedstock.

@bjrnhjortshjandersen1286 3 месяца назад

You need to calculate and add the source of alkaline you use to neutralize the CO2 into Carbonate.....so it does not hold water unless you find a free source to raise the pH ..and since it does not use CaO which is likely the cheapest you may have to use hydroxide ...which you use electricity to produce 🙂

@michaelkorntheuer8401 3 месяца назад

If you would find a process than could make hydroxide at a higher than 100% efficiency then you could net store CO2 with this "flow battery". But since every real hydroxide production is less than 100% (not even close!) this whole setup is a joke that is a net CO2 producer! morons...

@justforthehackofit 3 месяца назад

I'm afraid the bonus solid carbonate is not necessarily special. As you mentioned it requires a high pH, eg by adding lime or in its stronger sodium form, caustic soda. That costs energy to make and money to buy. It may lead to scaling of the electrode. The CO2 could have been made to react with such basic chemicals in the 1st place, irrespective of the presence of a flow battery. So this seems like the stacking of proven technology sold as something new, unless the battery discharging and the way the CO2 then becomes available will substantially simplify the precipitation to a carbonate.

@michaelkorntheuer8401 3 месяца назад

Right on! This is completely stupid idea that makes more CO2 ( during hydroxide production ) than it "stores" in carbonates. I hate that this rubbish gets even the slightest attention. Does really nobody understand the most basic chemistry???

@kennethferland5579 3 месяца назад

It looks like they need 3 times as much Potasium Hydroxide (KOH) as the Potasium Carbonate (KCO3) made. Both chemicals sell for about $1k a ton, so they are loosing money on the chemical conversion process itself. The electical 'storage' (a bit of a stretch as it seems most of the energy release is from the input chemicals) would need to cover the loss which seems really unlikely.
