6 FAQs about [Concrete energy storage video]
Could energy storage be embedded in concrete?
The breakthrough could pave the way for energy storage to be embedded into concrete, creating the potential for roads and buildings that charge electric devices. MIT researchers created a set of button-sized supercapacitors. Image courtesy of MIT
Could low-emissions cement and energy-storing concrete be the future?
Projects such as low-emissions cement and energy-storing concrete raise the prospect of a future where our offices, roads and homes play a significant part in a world powered by clean energy. --
Could this dark lump of concrete represent the future of energy storage?
This innocuous, dark lump of concrete could represent the future of energy storage. The promise of most renewable energy sources is that of endless clean power, bestowed on us by the Sun, wind and sea. Yet the Sun isn't always shining, the wind isn't always blowing, and still waters do not, in megawatt terms, run deep.
Can carbon laced concrete be used as a heating system?
Besides its ability to store energy in the form of supercapacitors, the same kind of concrete mixture can be used as a heating system, by simply applying electricity to the carbon-laced concrete. Ulm sees this as “a new way of looking toward the future of concrete as part of the energy transition.”
How can concrete be used to power a house?
In a house, a foundation made from the material could potentially store as much solar power—connected via cables to the roof—as the house would use in a day. At a wind farm, it could be used at the base of wind turbines. The concrete could also be used to make roads that can charge electric vehicles as they drive.
Could a new'supercapacitor' concrete foundation Save Energy?
Since the new “supercapacitor” concrete would retain its strength, a house with a foundation made of this material could store a day’s worth of energy produced by solar panels or windmills, and allow it to be used whenever it’s needed.
