Why Lithium-based Batteries Are the Solution To Climate Change
Although not perfect, current research on energy storage bets for this kind of battery to completely redo our energy industry and finish fossil fuel dominance.
We all know that the current energy generation mix is not sustainable in the long run due to greenhouse effect gas emissions. Still, electricity produced from solar and wind is intermittent and not always available when needed. It also depends a lot on geography and the season.
This is why we need to find a way to store this energy when the source is available to use it when needed. After decades researching, the only way forward seems to create a considerable battery industry.
Massive renewable sources
Wind power has been around at a profitable rate for several years now. It is very popular in countries like China, the US, Germany, and Spain but as wind is not constant over time, neither it is the electricity it produces.
Same story with solar energy which has gained a lot of momentum in the last years and it promises the best cost-to-benefit ratio of any other energy source. But it will only work while the sun is there and it is very changing depending on…
