Notable is the news about 30 GWh iron-air #battery project providing #EnergyStorage for 4 days!
"#FormEnergy said its iron-air batteries can store renewables-sourced electricity for 100 hours at system costs competitive with conventional power plants."
"The [1m tall] cells include iron and air electrodes" "Each of these cells are filled with water-based, non-flammable electrolyte, like the electrolyte used in AA batteries."
