HOW ZINC BROMINE FLOW BATTERIES MAKE GRID INDEPENDENT FARMING POSSIBLE Renewable, low-carbon energy systems are part of the strategy to address global climate change while meeting our energy needs But we are not there yet with these climate friendly systems. Lots of electricity is not consumed at the time it is produced. More energy storage is needed so that it is not...
THE ADVANTAGES OF BROMINE-BASED FLOW-BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES Today, in 2017, about 7.5 billion people live on our earth. The world population increases each day. By 2050, things are about to get really cosy. It is expected that then, 9.7 billion people will populate our planet. To provide maintenance for this inhabitation, energy is needed. A lot of energy. But what is the...
