Researchers have come up with a new way to store electricity in cement, using cheap and abundant materials. If scaled up, the cement could hold enough energy in a home''s concrete foundation to fulfill its daily power needs.
Thermal energy storage in concrete: A comprehensive review on
Thermal energy storage (TES) in concrete provides environmental benefits by promoting energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources. It also offers economic advantages through cost savings and enhanced energy affordability.
Electrified cement could turn houses and roads into nearly
Researchers have come up with a new way to store electricity in cement, using cheap and abundant materials. If scaled up, the cement could hold enough energy in a home''s concrete foundation to fulfill its daily power needs. Scaled up further, electrified roadways could power electric cars as they drive.
Ethiopia Energy Outlook – Analysis
Ethiopia could supply a much larger economy than today in the AC, using only twice the energy, were it to diversify its energy mix and implement efficiency standards. In the AC, this diversification comes about as a result of a substantial expansion of geothermal energy along with increased use of oil within industry and for cooking.
Research Brief: Next-generation concrete: Combining loadbearing
Electron-conducting concrete combines scalability and durability with energy storage and delivery capabilities, becoming a potential enabler of the renewable energy transition. In a new research brief by the CSHub and MIT ec³ hub, we explore the mechanics and applications of this technology. Read the brief.
Thermal energy storage in concrete: Review, testing, and
Thermal energy storage (TES) in solid, non-combustible materials with stable thermal properties at high temperatures can be more efficient and economical than other mechanical or chemical storage technologies due to its relatively low cost and high operating efficiency [1].These systems are ideal for providing continuous energy in solar power systems

01 Setting the scene ENERGY ACCESS IN DISPLACEMENT
agenda for energy, development, and humanitarian partners to deliver concrete actions of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) for displacement contexts. It promotes and contributes to the humanitarian sector''s transition to renewable energy, which will increase efficiency and reduce costs and carbon emis-sions.
An Energy-Storing Concrete-Based Supercapacitor
MIT engineers have created a "supercapacitor" made of ancient, abundant materials, that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon black (which resembles powdered charcoal), the device
Extra turbines double energy output at mega-dam in Ethiopia
Ethiopia has expanded the output of its mega-dam by 800MW, bringing the total capacity to 1,550MW. This increase in generation capacity at the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) follows the activation of two additional turbines on 24 August.. GERD is expected to bring further additional turbines online as water levels rise.
Embodied Energy and CO2 Emissions of Widely Used Building
The evaluation results demonstrated that cement, hollow concrete blocks (HCB), and reinforcement bars (rebars) are the major consumers of energy and major CO2 emitters. Cumulatively, they were responsible for 94% of the embodied
MIT engineers develop new energy-storing concrete
Engineers at MIT have developed a potentially revolutionary type of concrete able to store energy. Here''s how this could become an affordable boon for the inevitable renewable revolution. You can go from 1-millimeter-thick electrodes to 1-meter-thick electrodes, and by doing so basically you can scale the energy storage capacity from
Could Energy-Storing Concrete Be a Power Source of the Future?
In a paper published this June, they detailed how they combined cement, water and a form of charcoal called carbon black — the same stuff used to write the Dead Sea Scrolls — to create a concrete that acts as a supercapacitor, an alternative to a battery for storing energy.
Better Than Batteries? A Startup That''s Storing Energy in Concrete
A Startup That''s Storing Energy in Concrete Blocks Just Raised $100 Million. By Vanessa Bates Ramirez. September 1, 2021. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its Sixth Assessment Report in early August, and the outlook isn''t good. The report has added renewed urgency to humanity''s effort to curb climate change.
