Scientists at the #InternationalInstituteForAppliedSystemsAnalysis #IIASA in #Austria 🇦🇹 have developed a system to store renewable energy in abandoned mines‼️ The gravity based system lifts sand up the shaft during peak power times then slowly drops the mass during low energy times. A motor/generator,
⚡#RegenerativeBrake⚡ is used to control the mass, similar to what is now used in current #ElectricVehicle technology.

#UniversityOfCambridge 🇬🇧 scientists have developed a #Solar power #reactor that converts either #plastic or #CO2 into useful products. Their demonstration project used CO2 to produce #syngas and plastic bottles to produce #GlycolicAcid. Syngas is used to make ammonia and glycolic acid is used in cosmetics. By changing the #catalyst in the reactor other products are possible.
