The widespread deployment of batteries in power systems and transportation applications is expected to face challenges related to the raw material supply chain and the environmental impact of the materials. Current energy storage systems are expensive and difficult to scale, mainly due to the cost and performance of the battery chemistry. The cutt...

The oil and gas industry has seen by many as major source of pollution in the world. Chemicals such as carbon dioxide and methane have been released to the atmosphere. The cumulative volume of both gasses, along with other harmful substances are massive. Decades of harmful emission has led to serious consequence, particularly on the deteriorating a...

The world is undergoing a transition in the energy industry from the traditional fossil-fuel based baseload power generation to a decentralized, distributed, and cleaner format due to approaching or already established grid parity of many technologies, such as solar power, offshore wind power, electric vehicles and the like. However, conventional u...

Blockchain is predicted to disrupt majority, if not all, of industries in the medium term. At the moment, the development of blockchain technology is already gaining momentum and it is already advancing in number of industries, oil and gas included. The core technology that blockchain can provide, which is distributed ledger, is seen as medium to i...

Grid-Scale energy storage solutions involve electrochemical storage such as batteries, supercapacitors, electromechanical storage solutions such as flywheels, compressed air energy storage and thermal energy storage solutions like molten salt and ice energy storage.
