Clean Energy Storage
Intermittent renewable energy sources need massive-scale storage solutions. Current battery technology cannot meet grid-scale demands cost-effectively, limiting the transition from fossil fuels.
The Humans
Every electricity consumer. Solar and wind are now cheapest but intermittent — the sun sets, wind stops. Utilities need grid-scale storage. EV owners need longer range. Island nations need energy independence. The entire energy transition bottlenecks on storage. Battery costs must fall another 50% for full decarbonization.
