Lithium-ion batteries are the prevailing technology for storing solar energy and assuring grid stability. Still, they cannot be a lasting solution because the resulting mountains of lithium waste are hard to mitigate.
Israeli startup Nostromo Energy decided to meet that challenge by using an unlikely substance: water.
Nostromo has R&D projects with Royal Dutch Shell and the Israel Electric Corporation and partnerships with several American engineering companies.
Under a 20-year agreement with the Hilton Beverly Hills, the 1.4 megawatt-hour energy storage system IceBrick has been installed inside the luxury hotel Beverly Hilton; this system will also serve the adjacent Waldorf Astoria. It is set to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 150 to 200 metric tons annually – more than 5,000 metric tons for the lifetime of the system – as well as supply energy for cooling at less than half its current cost.
An IceBrick was installed on the roof of Medinol, a Jerusalem-based cardiac stent developer and manufacturer. The 600-kWh system contains 48 cells of encapsulated ice connected to the charging chiller, providing critical backup to Medinol’s clean rooms cooling system.
Thanks to Nostromo's acceptance into the Anheuser-Busch InBev 100+ Accelerator in 2021, it will have the opportunity to pilot its solution in about 20 countries. The company won one of 36 spots from a field of 1,300 applicants.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
ReplyDeleteMy website has a lot of completely unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it
looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without
my permission. Do you know any ways to help reduce content from
being stolen? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
The only thing I can think of is setting up Google alerts for your content and complaining to the hosting company about copyright violations you detect.
