Air-breathing Battery Could Cut Costs of Renewable Energy Storage Updated On Fri, Nov 24th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar power and wind are increasingly popular sources for renewable energy. But intermittency issues keep them from connecting widely to the U.S. grid: They require energy-storage systems that, at the cheapest, run about $100 per kilowatt hour and function only in certain locations. Now MIT researchers have developed an “air-breathing” battery that could store electricity […] Read more
