Studies have shown that sodium batteries capable of retaining water can not only efficiently store energy but also desalinate seawater. This approach opens up possibilities for developing devices that simultaneously provide energy storage and water purification, which is especially relevant for coastal regions.
Shell has announced the sale of its portfolio of onshore renewable energy assets in Europe to TotalEnergies. This deal reflects Shell's strategic shift and the reallocation of investments toward higher-priority areas. The transfer of assets is expected to be completed by 2026.
The United Kingdom is experiencing a surplus of renewable energy, yet continues to have some of the highest electricity prices in Europe. To make better use of its resources, the country needs to accelerate the integration of data centers and the implementation of energy storage systems.
The rapid growth in the number of data centers in the United States is leading to a sharp increase in electricity and water consumption, creating challenges for infrastructure and the environment. This is prompting new restrictions and legislative measures at the regional level.
Scientists have developed a biofuel cell that uses glucose and riboflavin instead of expensive metals, making batteries more affordable and environmentally friendly. This new technology delivers record-breaking power and opens up promising opportunities for industrial applications.
