Manufacturing Decarbonizing Manufacturing: Breakthrough Energy''s Approach to Achieving Net-Zero Emissions Manufacturing emissions are often considered among the most challenging to decarbonize. Innovation and policy both play key roles in the transition to a clean manufacturing economy.
Energy. Capacitors, the unsung heroes of energy storage, play a crucial role in powering everything from smartphones to electric vehicles. They store energy from batteries in the form of an electrical charge and enable ultra-fast charging and discharging. However, their Achilles'' heel has always been limited energy storage efficiency.
MIT engineers have created a "supercapacitor" made of ancient, abundant materials, that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon black (which resembles powdered charcoal), the device could form the basis for inexpensive systems that store intermittently renewable energy, such as solar or wind energy.
