Redox flow battery for energy storage

Delectrik Systems has developed energy storage products based on vanadium redox flow battery technology. Unlike solid-state batteries, such as lead/lithium, a flow battery has a simple one-electron reaction in the aqueous phase, which gives it a very long cycle and shelf life with the potential to match the lifetime of renewables (25 years). The cost of the product is low enough that Delectrik claims it is competitive on upfront capex even at low manufacturing volumes compared to other solid-state batteries. The lifecycle cost could also be significantly lower than other competing technologies.

Converting desert to fertile soil

Through Desert Control’s patented mixing process, Liquid NanoClay (LNC) combines clay and water and is then spread onto sandy soil. It enables the soil to retain water, turning desert into fertile soil. Production of LNC happens on site. Cultivating sandy soil into fertile land normally takes from seven to fifteen years, whereas Desert Control’s LNC accomplishes that in just hours. One application of LNC lasts a minimum of five years and only natural products are used during production, without the use of chemicals.
