[@DennisRamberg]

Don't get me wrong, I definitely think that batteries are the future of electricity and power. However, calling it "green" is pretty far-fetched when looking at the complete life cycle of everything we create and consume. I did my masters on environmental management and the ISO14000-family certifications, during that time I interviewed companies within the automotive industry-, computer industry, a pharmaceutical industry, as well as professors at Lund University. One thing became abundantly clear. The worst environmental impact by western societies is consumption, no competition. Even if we replace fossil fuels with batteries the environmental impact won't become as green as we want- or are made to believe. In the end we mine for minerals, we transport, we process, we salvage and we industrialize in order to create products to sell, to make our economy go around. Companies want us to buy more all the time to turn in profit (there's no wonder phones are built to last only 2 years, about the same amount of time as phone plans usually hold up). The only thing people can do to be "green" is to consume responsibly. All countries are different, but looking at Sweden only 20% of CO2 emissions is caused by transports (public and private), 40% is caused by private consumption while 30% is caused by infrastructure, society and industry. (Sweden don't have a lot of industry, but we consume a lot, that environmental impact is instead brought on China and other export countries) I don't want to be a party pooper, but there is no interest for product companies to hand out statistics on the "life cycle environmental impact" of their products. There's no wonder we hear about "green cars" instead of the negative impact they have on the environment. Sure we can't see the pollution from the exhaust anymore, but that doesn't make the car "green". The only thing we have done is to export the environment problem to china. It's kind of ironic, we buy tons of "green cars", feel good about ourselves, and then politically complain on china for not being "green" enough, although, in fact they just produce batteries, electronics, general products etc. to meet our consumption needs as well as strengthen their own economy.

[@shortstacksport]

You're an idiot.

[@DennisRamberg]

@@shortstacksport is that so? Please provide a counter argument and we can have a discussion about it. I'm not saying batteries are worse than fossil fuels (because they are not), rather that it is ironic and a bit opportunistic to call them 'green' without measuring the complete life cycle impact that the technology has.

[@odst1172]

You provide a solid argument. Makes sense too because we ultimately forget that making products end up creating some sort of waste and or byproduct.

[@BrokenLifeCycle]

Here's a green battery solution. Iron flow-batteries. This is a technology not suited for automotive applications, but for ground-based power storage, size is less a limiting factor. The battery uses very safe common chemicals to store electrical power, and it is easily recyclable at the end of its service life. This is just one example of batteries that fulfill its 'green' role. Or maybe someone makes a graphene battery or supercapacitor ---- power storage made out of carbon. There are many emerging battery technologies that are far less damaging than the production of lithium-type batteries that it's not fair to say that batteries in itself are not green ---- only some of them aren't. True, where will all that power come from when every car is a battery vehicle? It has to come from power stations. Power storage technologies will displace that pollution source to elsewhere, but think of it this way: it's easier to stick a pollution scrubber on the few stationary power plants than on every car. And if you have battery storage on the grid? Now you can make your system super efficient because you no longer need polluting peaker-plants to compensate for the fluctuating demand curve. There is such a thing as too much pessimism. There is always a downside, but you are looking too short of a time-scale to not see the long term benefits. If we don't start because of the perceived short-term downsides, then we'll never progress to anything else and stagnate. The lightbulb was only invented after a thousand failures, and the same lesson there can still be applied today. As I like to say, perfection is stagnation. If you think something can't be done better, then you've already deemed it perfect. If you think something is perfect, you shouldn't try to be solving problems...

[@morosis82]

In general I agree, but with one important distinction - if the pollution generated during production of goods falls below tge ability of the surrounding environment to transform that pollution, then I would call that green. We are obviously a long way from that, but perhaps some company out there will use first principles to design new systems that meet that objective.

[@FlorisApon]

Battery tech improves the capacity of batteries, Phones manufacturers make batteries smaller and phones thinner so we still have half a day to one day of charge Nice

[@WilliamJones-Halibut-vq1fs]

Improving batteries won’t be enough, they have to be made out of common materials instead of rare earth element. Lithium batteries should really be called cobalt batteries or manganese batteries they don’t just contain lithium which is a fairly harmless element.

Hydrogen fuel is not emission free. Hydrogen reacts with Oxygen to produce water vapour. Water vapour is a greenhouse gas.

Hydrogen fuel emits more water vapour per kg of fuel than conventional hydrocarbon fuels, meaning that it is not a viable solution to global warming.

So till I can get a full charge out of a battery car/truck in less than 10 mins gas will remain a key power source for cars, and more so in rural areas such as mine where something as simple as a Walmart or Aldi store is a 30+ min drive. I'm not knocking them, just saying it will be a very long time before they take over if ever fully, but I can see more, and more Hybrid plugin cars/trucks in the next 10 years where the gas motor takes over on very long trips.

@@CommodoreFan64 You didn't consider a lot of points: Beside that you will never need more than 1 hour to "top off", to charge for 30 mins will only be needed on long journeys.

Sky Alligator Intrigued, go on..

[@sky-xk5be]

setup -> 350 (350 tons) concrete blocks ( totally a small bedroom size structure), 15 meters (lamp post height aporx), lift like structure holding blocks and connected to a generator. this will generate 15 units of energy from 15 meters to 0 meters according to E = m.g.h. if you are powering a small town with decent solar panels and gravity setup, you don't need even grid. its very much doable and you will save millions to billions of infrastructure cost like transmission lines, stepdown junctions etc.

[@sky-xk5be]

you have to compromise the cost of infrastructure and a suitable place. not all places gifted with hills. how often do you think elevators maintained!

[@wopmf4345FxFDxdGaa20]

+Sky Alligator Yes, but energy storage capacity of that is though relatively low ( 14,3 kWh ) compared to its complexity. If you have 350 tons of mass, and you drop the whole mass 15 meters ( which means the tower height must be much more than 15 meters), you have released 51,5 MJ, by other words 14,3kWh, and in reality a lot less because you don't get 100% efficiency. For example electric stove may have 9kW max power. So, with that 350 tons of weight, you could use one electric stove with everything on for about 1 hour and 39 minutes. Well ok that is unrealistic, nobody keeps everything on max the same time. In normal use case, it would last for a few hours. To power whole house, you would need one 350 ton 15 meter drop pole, for every household? Or maybe a few houses per pole if the houses are very energy efficient. ;) Gravitational storage makes a lot more sense with water tough. Doing it with water is technically very simple, as you only need a pump, and reservoir located high and another located low. It will of course need to be 3 times larger in physical size, as density of water is about 1/3 th of concrete, but if you have city located in so isolated place that there isn't even electric grid close by, there probably is space. Water storage is much cheaper and simpler mechanically, that is the main gravity storage in large scale use today. When you have excess production, the water is pumped higher with a simple pumping station. And when there is more energy usage than production, the water flows down, and generates electricity. It tough still makes much more sense to build one big reservoir, than many small ones, because powerlines are cheap compared to the pumps, etc. and extremely cheap compared to 350 ton concrete blocks and all mechanics required to lift that up and down. ;) Transmission lines and stepup/down junctions actually are one of the main reasons why electricity was so big success in the first place, because they made it cheaper than having small production stations everywhere, that was for example Edisons proposal originally with his direct current system. But AC won, because it can be so easily stepped up and down, that allows centralized production in big facility, which was a lot cheaper.

Hey I think you get this somewhat wrong. Batteries will definitely play a role in grids and cars, but it seems very unlikely that they are the only solution playing a role in storage. Look around for the needed storage sizes for 100% renewable systems. They are in the TWh range. For a single big country. That is the current Tesla Giga factory had to produce 50 years at 20 GWh/year to have 1 TWh. Which is not even enough for one country. Why is it so much? Seasonal storage. Day and night is one problem, summer and winter are a much bigger one. The solution is most likely a mix of (storage) technologies. Look for example this paper (arxiv.org/pdf/1801.05290.pdf) where they to a simulation of all of Europe including all kinds of storage technology and sector coupling, as well as storage in EVs and grid extensions. More over, I also believe transportation will not rely just on batteries (and so does Toyota btw.). Different modes will use different technologies. Short distance there will be a lot of batteries, long distance and high traffic density probably battery and some kind of rail system to charge along the way. Long distance and low density (and aircrafts) some kind of co2 neutral liquid fuel. Otherwise great work, maybe a bit Tesla heavy.

And 1TWh is not enough storage for ONE decently sized economy to get through winter. 1TWh storage for gas or liquid fuel on the other hand is easily done. (power to gas has other problems of course) Also nobody in this thread disputes we need renewable energy or storage.

Batteries (for now) are even worse than oilproducts. Do you even know what 'rare earth minerals' means? You dig a huge hole first, you mine the shit, then you get rid of stuff in it that you don't need (that's most of the material and it's highly toxic) and after that you'll be left with small amounts of usable material. If you consider that you need to dig a hole as big as China to give the rest of the world phones and windturbines (yes they contain some of the same) and you also need a secured landfill as big as the UK and a wastepond as big as the caspian sea to store the chemicals used to devide the 'good stuff' from the 'bad stuff', I doubt that the 'The Future' would last very long with poison like that laying around.

then maybe you could learn some physics and maths so you can finally understand. Start with the simple calculation of how much space it would take to replace all non-solar power production by solar panels. continue by failing to figure out where would you then cram the fields needed to grow food for earth's population.

[@wopmf4345FxFDxdGaa20]

Batteries because it was very expensive, and still is relatively expensive. Even now energy storage capacity of batteries is very small compared to for example gasoline. Of course 75% of the energy in gasoline is wasted to heat in car use. Then there is other problems, like the battery wears out in use, etc. New battery types are promising tough, time will tell how will they do. Battery prices will need to drop a lot, for them to become competitive to other energy storage methods. For example that power bank there, is mainly useful because of speed. Its energy storage capacity is low compared to its price. The purpose of that is to balance the grid, when solar and wind production is unstable, because electricity production and usage must always be in balance.

[@MidnightSt]

[@morosis82]

@Aegon Aram Got figures to back that up? I do. World lithium reserves in 2013 were 16 milllion tonnes. A Tesla takes ~10kg of Lithium for the battery (a bit less, but makes for a nice round calculation). 16 million tonnes divided by 10kg would make that 1.6 billion vehicles. There are newer brine deposits that have been found adding MANY more millions of tons to that figure, but I can't find any recent approximations of worldwide known amounts. Apparently they found one brine deposit in Wyoming that could have up to 38 million tonnes. You were saying?

[@WilliamJones-Halibut-vq1fs]

As an electrical engineer I can guarantee you that the battery installed in Sth Austria isn’t storing or providing renewable power or energy of significance. What it is doing is supply a few moments of power while normal generators are started. The electrical problems in South Australia were created by renewables and poorly designed grid interconnects. That battery and the nearly wind far doesn’t provide significant power. 150MWHr of energy is maybe 5% of Sth Australia’s electrical demand for 1 hour. Using that full nominal capacity repeatedly would destroy the battery. Lithium ion batteries are not being recycled.

[@TheMagicJIZZ]

Tesla did not fix ALL of Australia energy issues? It's just a grid frequency battery. It's not really there for the grid to supply but cover voltage and frequency Control in terms of contracts. The unfortunate thing is...it's actually a small market in wholesale markets ( look up national grid UK for more on these types as UK is no most progressive energy regulator) so even if you build say 51gw of batteries to support 50 gw of batteries. And they all are decentralised. It means you are basically having them sit there for hours and not doing much at all. So wholesale power prices go up. Basically if 50% of the grid is renewable prices double and same with 100% because it'd just gonna not be utilised all the time at full capacity. So the investment is like overcapacity and would reduce competition. Batteries are needed but...it's not the solution entirely and that's the biggest issue, the grid stabilizes but PRICES will go up not down. But maybe that's the price we pay for carbon neutral/free technology so therefore carbon tax is desirable but I don't see this fixing our heating or steel production. We need a new plan

It's a fairly new company, costs will come down as more people buy more of them. Tesla focused on luxury cars initially to make it attractive to people that had big bucks. The gamble (and it was a gamble) worked fairly well, and now they have a foothold in the previously ICE dominant car market which was dominated by huge, long running corporations specialized in that area. While the Model 3 is not exactly affordable to the average person, it's a lot less than their other models. Partly because of Tesla, more and more electric cars are in the works. Sondor's is working on an electric vehicle that he wants to sell for about 10, 000 for the base model.

You just need a clean energy source, for example an hydroelectric plant, and then you produce it by electrolysis.

Id also like to introduce another method of energy storage. This one is called Pumped Heat Storage. Basically the machine is a heat pump, and the energy is stored as a temperature difference. The compressed gas is hot and it will transfer the heat onto another medium. The other tank is the opposite i.e. it gets cooled instead. There is no restraints on what can be used here. Gravel, waste concrete, scrap metal, etc. Of course there will be materials that hold the heat better than others, but the flexibility means that different materials can be chosen based on requirements vs cost. The heat/cold tanks can then change gas pressures which then can create the pressure needed to drive a generator to turn the energy back into electricity. Oh and those who have tested small scaled versions of these things reports about 70% round trip efficiency. Its obviously lower than a lithium gigabattery station would do but with its low cost, its definitely something to look into. Check it out, you have google right?
