New research coming out of the University of Iceland introduces the novel idea of adding EES technologies such as Lithium-ion batteries across the country’s grid to store it’s 100 percent renewably sourced electricity, effectively creating the world’s first renewable “green battery.”

[pdf] While lithium-ion dominates today, the Seychelles Energy Commission is eyeing vanadium flow batteries. Why? Their liquid electrolyte is about as likely to combust as a sleeping sea turtle. Plus, they can store 8+ hours of energy – perfect for those loooong tropical nights.
