What is energy research?
Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and …
Why do we research energy?
Energy R&D is an important vehicle for the achievement of a wide variety of societal and policy goals. Because energy technology and fuel choices are critical determinants of economic prosperity, environmental quality, and national security, energy R&D is an important public policy vehicle.
What are the topics of interest in thermal energy storage?
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Novel thermochemical materials or cycles for high volumetric energy density storage systems (with accessible thermal energy storage densities > 3000 MJ/m3 of storage media).
What is the energy storage research program?
NREL’s energy storage research addresses energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies related to buildings, solar, water, and wind. For more information, contact Roderick Jackson (buildings), Mary Werner (solar), Al LiVecchi (water), or Brian Smith (wind).
What is large-scale renewable energy storage?
Large-scale renewable energy storage is a relatively young technology area that has rapidly grown with an increasing global demand for more energy from sources that reduce the planet’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
What is NREL’s electrochemical storage research?
NREL’s electrochemical storage research ranges from materials discovery and development to electrode design, cell evaluation, system design and development, engendering analysis, and lifetime analysis of secondary batteries. We also research electrocatalysts, hydrogen production, and electrons to molecules for longer-term storage.
