Solving the American Power Crisis: The Future of Grid Energy StorageElectricity, that wonderfully efficient medium for distributing power, has a behavioral quirk imparted by natural law: you can’t save it. This simple fact dictates the way we generate electricity and also poses a problem effectively using some forms of renewable energy. A myriad of new technologies under development may help both traditional and renewable generating sources by providing cost-effective, large-scale energy storage for the electric power grid.…

Fungal Fuels - Scavenging Green Energy from the World’s WasteBy extracting cellulase enzymes from fungus and mixing them with a liquefied wood pulp, sugar can be produced. Add that sugar to yeast, ferment, and you have fungal ethanol, or myconol as some like to call it. Best of all, you don’t need specific crops to produce it: any waste cellulose will do.…
