Thermal Energy Storage Tour with Stiesdal Gridscale Battery Engineering with Rosie 2021-02-24 | Solving climate change means an energy transition to renewables, and having a lot of variable renewable electricity in the grid means we'll need a lot more energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are great for short term storage, and we have heard a lot about the potential to use hydrogen for long term storage, but what about in between?In today's video, I got a tour of Stiesdal Gridscale Battery by COO Bo Birkemose. He explained their thermal energy storage product that they are developing, and showed me the three small-scale units they have been testing their design on, on the way to developing their first grid-scale system.Bo explains the product philosophy, the operating principles of the heat battery, what time scale their battery will be suited to, the development process, the biggest design challenges and shows me the thermal battery up close. 00:28 How does the thermal energy storage system work?02:31 How efficient is the thermal battery?03:20 Product goals - fast development, reduce cost03:50 What are the design challenges?04:59 Challenges associated with installation in remote locations06:06 Keeping the turbomachinery clean is another challenge06:40 What material is the heat stored in?07:26 Choosing the rock size: a tradeoff between heat transfer and pressure drop07:46 How big is the system?09:15 Energy storage duration and how heat batteries compare to lithium-ion batteries10:09 Tour of the 3 small-scale test units and what they learn from each stepWant the Lego set I showed at 05:34 ?

But how much control are you willing to give up to do that? In this video, we’re going to dig into demand response—an approach that allows consumers to adjust their electricity usage to help balance the grid, cut costs, and reduce emissions.We’ll explore both the benefits and the risks—how much flexibility you really need to make a difference, and whether exposing yourself to volatile electricity markets is worth it. I’ll also share some personal experiences and practical examples, including the role of technology in making this all a bit easier.If you would like to help develop the Engineering with Rosie channel, you could consider joining the Patreon community, where there is a chat community (and Patreon-only Discord server) about topics covered in the videos and suggestions for future videos and production quality improvements. patreon.com/engineeringwithrosieOr for a one-off contribution you can support by buying a coffee ☕️ here — buymeacoffee.com/engwithrosieThe Engineering with Rosie team is:Rosemary Barnes: presenter, producer, writerJavi Diez: editor linkedin.com/in/javierdiezsuarez/?locale=en_USBookmarks:00:00 Intro00:48 What is Demand Response?02:42 How Much Flexibility is Needed?03:56 Early adopters07:54 Market-Driven Approach08:41 Flexible tariff missteps 10:56 Is Flexible Demand Unreliable?12:23 Is Flexible Demand Inconvenient?12:49 Future of demand responseSources:rmi.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Insight_Brief_Demand_Flexibility_2018.pdfhttps://arena.gov.au/renewable-energy/demand-response/electricenergyonline.com/energy/magazine/393/article/LightsOn-How-Integrating-Demand-Response-and-AMI-Impacts-Utility-Customers.htm#:~:text=The%20consumer%20can%20choose%20which%20appliances%20to%20enroll%20in%20the%20utility%2Dmanaged%20programs%20and%20enable%20the%20utility%20to%20manage%20these%20loads%20during%20critical%20periodsuplight.com/press/consumers-energy-partners-with-uplight-to-empower-utility-customers-with-personalized-tools-enabling-a-transition-to-clean-energy/#:~:text=High%20Customer%20Satisfaction%3A%20Ninety%20percent%20of%20participants%20in%20the%20Consumers%20Orchestrated%20Energy%20program%20would%20recommend%20the%20program%20to%20a%20friend.%C2%A0sce.com/business/savings-incentives/demand-response/demand-response-mobile-apprmi.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Insight_Brief_Demand_Flexibility_2018.pdfcbsnews.com/news/griddy-energy-texas-files-bankruptcy#EcoFlowAustralia #EcoFlow #EcoFlowDELTAPro3 #SolarGenerator #homebackuppower

On the one hand, we’re convinced there’s not going to be enough critical minerals so there will be shortages and prices will rise sky high. And on the other hand, they also think we won’t be bothered to recycle.People always say that we are a “throw it in the rubbish” kind of society but that is such… rubbish. I’ve never seen someone just drive their old car into landfill and walk away, have you? When people think of batteries getting thrown away willy nilly, they’re thinking of small stuff like phones and walkmans. So that’s certainly wasteful, and we shouldn’t do that either, but even if we throw all of that away the amount of battery waste from small products like that is very small compared to the total amount of car and stationary energy batteries that we’re going to have to deal with from say 2030 onwards.I personally don’t think we need to be so pessimistic about this. In this video I’m going to run through the technologies we have available to recycle batteries, and the main obstacles to scaling this industry up even faster.If you would like to help develop the Engineering with Rosie channel, you could consider joining the Patreon community, where there is a chat community (and Patreon-only Discord server) about topics covered in the videos and suggestions for future videos and production quality improvements. patreon.com/engineeringwithrosieOr for a one-off contribution you can support by buying a coffee ☕️ here — buymeacoffee.com/engwithrosieThe Engineering with Rosie team is:Rosemary Barnes: presenter, producer, writerJavi Diez: editor linkedin.com/in/javierdiezsuarez/?locale=en_USBookmarks:00:00 Intro04:54 How can batteries be recycled?05:17 Pyrometallurgy06:04 Hydrometallurgy08:27 Direct recycling09:11 Economics of battery recycling11:12 Cheap batteries12:00 Scaling up battery recycling12:59 Government support for battery recycling13:38 China dominates battery recyclingSources:oecd-ilibrary.org/copper-factsheet_5js6dbf4g3tf.pdf?itemId=%2Fcontent%2Fcomponent%2F9789264190504-11-en&mimeType=pdfhttps://aluminium.org.au/sustainability-main/recycling/#:~:text=Approximately%2075%25%20of%20the%20aluminium,it%20an%20incredibly%20sustainable%20material.umicore.com/en/newsroom/umicore-battery-recyclingascendelements.comli-cycle.com/technologyrenewable-metals.comfortum.com/services/battery-recycling#:~:text=Our%20low%2DCO2%20battery%20recycling,be%20put%20back%20into%20circulation.northvolt.com/articles/hydrovoltredwoodmaterials.com/recycle-with-us/#:~:text=4.-,How%20much%20of%20the%20battery%20is%20actually%20recyclable%3F,in%20a%20lithium%2Dion%20battery.li-cycle.comhttps://www.agl.com.au/about-agl/media-centre/asx-and-media-releases/2022/december/agl-and-renewable-metals-sign-mou-to-explore-development-of-batt?rmxt3r=vwt06zduesenfeld.com/recycling_en.htmlyoutu.be/3YlIQ9fUnmkrecellcenter.org/research/direct-recycling-of-materialstradingeconomics.com/commodity/lithium (and /nickel /cobalt)mckinsey.com/industries/automotive-and-assembly/our-insights/battery-recycling-takes-the-drivers-seat#ttnews.com/articles/ev-batteries-black-masstheicct.org/publication/recycling-electric-vehicle-batteries-feb-23www-cnbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/07/21/dead-ev-batteries-turn-to-gold-with-us-incentives.htmlwhitecase.com/insight-alert/new-eu-batteries-regulation-introducing-enhanced-sustainability-recycling-and-safetyiea.org/reports/the-role-of-critical-minerals-in-clean-energy-transitions/executive-summary

Revolutionising Cement: How New Tech Could Slash 8% of Global Emissions! Engineering with Rosie 2024-07-23 | In this video we will take a look at a technology that is a brand new take on some of the most important and most emissions intensive industrial processes that modern society relies on. We’re talking cement manufacturing – responsible for 8% of global emissions on its own. Processing minerals like iron ore, alumina, spodumene. Together these processes supply the materials we need for modern life – concrete, steel, aluminium, batteries, to go in buildings, wind turbines, solar panels and EVs that we need into the future. These materials are vital for the future but come with stubborn emissions that can’t be simply electrified away. We are going to head inside the R&D facility for Calix and their spinoff Leilac (Low Emissions Lime And Cement). They have reimagined the humble kiln or furnace that has been powering these critical processes for hundreds and in some cases thousands of years, to get rid of those hard to abate process emissions. And they’ve invited us here today to take a look and tell us how it works.

Why is China Dominating Ultra High Voltage DC? Engineering with Rosie 2024-05-30 | Want to restore the planet's ecosystems and see your impact in monthly videos? The first 500 people to join Planet Wild with my code will get the first month for free at planetwild.com/engineeringwithrosie/powerlinesIf you want to get to know them better first, check out their latest video:Transforming the land under power lines into thriving ecosystems: planetwild.com/engineeringwithrosie/15Can we use the afternoon sun in Perth to power the evening in Sydney? Imagine harnessing sunlight from thousands of kilometers away to power our cities at peak times. In today's video, we explore the groundbreaking energy technology that can do just that. Ultra High Voltage Direct Current, or UHVDC is reshaping how power is transmitted over vast distances. As countries globally seek efficient renewable energy solutions, China leads the charge in this technology, successfully employing UHVDC to link its hydro, solar and wind-rich western regions with densely populated eastern cities. This success prompts a critical question: Why haven’t countries like the USA or Australia, with seemingly similar geographies, adopted UHVDC? Consider the potential—what if UHVDC could link Western Australia's abundant solar resources to the main Australian grid? This could allow Sydney at 5 PM to use solar power generated at 3 PM in Perth. Or in the USA it could be California’s 2PM sunshine powering New York’s 5PM, or transporting wind from the lightly populated mid west to the cities. The implications of such a capability are profound and could revolutionize energy use across time zones.Why is UHVDC not more widespread? To answer this questions, we're going to examine how elevating from traditional HVDC to UHVDC allows longer distance and more efficient energy transmission. We'll also look into how much UHVDC has been installed in China, compare it with installations elsewhere, and discuss what future plans may hold. We'll dive into the technological specifics, understand its advantages, and confront the formidable challenges that have curtailed its broader adoption. Stay tuned as we explore why this transformative technology, while a game-changer in China, is still on the sidelines elsewhere.If you would like to help develop the Engineering with Rosie channel, you could consider joining the Patreon community, where there is a chat community (and Patreon-only Discord server) about topics covered in the videos and suggestions for future videos and production quality improvements. patreon.com/engineeringwithrosieOr for a one-off contribution you can support by buying a coffee ☕️ here — buymeacoffee.com/engwithrosieFollow us for more short videos:instagram.com/engwithrosietiktok.com/@engineeringwithrosie Bookmarks:00:00 Intro01:42 HVDC vs UHVDC02:47 UHVDC links in China04:05 Projects outside China05:15 Why aren’t there many UHVDC outside of China?07:09 Why is China leading with UHVDC?07:35 Can we have UHVDC link in Australia?08:56 Will we see UHVDC links crisscrossing the planet soon?09:15 OutroSources:For data, images & graphshttp://en.people.cn/n3/2018/0622/c90000-9474097.html#:~:text=loss%20of%20only%201.5%20percent%20per%201%2C000%20kilometersweb.archive.org/web/20180730045905/siemens.com/press/pool/de/events/2012/energy/2012-07-wismar/factsheet-hvdc-e.pdfen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-voltage_electricity_transmission_in_Chinaelectricnet.com/doc/china-to-construct-high-voltage-transmission-0001mhi.ca/news-events/news/25hitachienergy.com/uk-ie/en/about-us/customer-success-stories/changji-guquan-uhvdc-linkhitachienergy.com/uk-ie/en/news/features/2020/07/the-world-s-most-powerful-transmis-sion-system-facilitated-by-hinsenergybusiness.com/projects/changji-guquan-uhvdc-transmission-project/#:~:text=The%20Changji%2DGuquan%20ultra%2Dhigh,operating%20at%201%2C100kV%20voltage.nsenergybusiness.com/projects/changji-guquan-uhvdc-transmission-projecthitachienergy.com/in/en/about-us/customer-success-stories/north-east-agrahitachienergy.com/uk-ie/en/about-us/customer-success-stories/raigarh---pugalur-uhvdc-linknsenergybusiness.com/projects/belo-monte-rio-de-janeiro-uhvdc-transmission-projectdiva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:276817/fulltext01Reports and Scientific Papershttps://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/bitstream/JRC97720/ld-na-27527-en-n.pdfclimate-laws.org/documents/14th-five-year-plan-on-modern-energy-system-planning_8f22?q=iea-etsap.org/E-TechDS/PDF/E12_el-t&d_KV_Apr2014_GSOK.pdfThe Engineering with Rosie team is:Rosemary Barnes: Presenter, producer, writerJavi Diez: Editor linkedin.com/in/javierdiezsuarezFatini Nur: Research and production assistant linkedin.com/in/fatinin
Direct Air Capture (DAC) vs. Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) Engineering with Rosie 2024-05-20 | Direct Air Capture, or DAC, represents a significant shift in our approach to managing carbon dioxide emissions. Unlike traditional carbon capture and storage, CCS, that targets point sources of emissions like factories or power plants, DAC can be set up anywhere, it doesn’t need to be in the same place or even at the same time as emissions are occurring.

Does nuclear go well with wind and solar? Engineering with Rosie 2024-05-11 | Thing about wind and solar energy is that they are variable. Nuclear power plants, on the other hand, prefer to be turned on and continue operating at a constant output.

Four Reasons Why Nuclear Power is a Dumb Idea for Australia Engineering with Rosie 2024-05-08 | Nuclear energy in Australia was until recently off the table. But it’s now found its way back into conversation, championed by the conservative opposition party. Under the leadership of Peter Dutton, there's a push to integrate nuclear power as a backbone for Australia's renewable energy future. His vision includes swift construction timelines for large reactors, and small modular reactors once that technology matures. And they are specifically targeting the sites of our retiring coal plants to take advantage of existing infrastructure. The first obstacle that these nuclear plans face is that nuclear power is currently banned in Australia. Back in 1998, the Howard government wanted to secure a nuclear research reactor at Lucas Heights near Sydney. To do so, they needed support from the Greens party, who made a deal to support the research reactor if a nationwide ban on nuclear power plants was introduced at the same time. So it was banned and remains so today. But what if this ban were lifted? Should we then embrace nuclear for our energy future? The answer, quite simply, is no. It's a dumb idea for Australia. And I'm not just throwing around words here; there are solid reasons behind this bold claim. Four, to be precise: it's too slow, it doesn't play nicely with wind and solar, it's too expensive and it solves problems that we don't have in Australia. Do I think nuclear power should be banned here? No, I think it should be allowed a level playing field with other energy technologies, to allow a fair fight. Like most people, I want the cheapest clean electricity possible. And for any one of the reasons I’ve mentioned, nuclear would lose this fair fight. Add them all up and there is absolutely zero chance we’ll ever have nuclear power in Australia. I’m not a nuclear hater, I think nuclear makes a lot of sense in countries that have the kinds of problems I mentioned in the last part of this video. I’m working on a longer nuclear video with a more global perspective currently, so please feel free to leave your angry comments about how I was unfair to nuclear in this video in the comments so I can make sure that one is nicely rounded.

Why are wind turbine blades so hard to recycle? Engineering with Rosie 2024-03-22 | Recycling wind turbine blades is challenging because they are made of fibres and resin that bond strongly together. The resin is a thermoset, which undergoes a permanent change once it sets, making it impossible to melt and reshape unlike thermoplastics that can be reshaped with heat. The main difficulty in recycling comes from trying to separate the fibre and resin without damaging them, due to the resin's permanent bonding.If you would like to help develop the Engineering with Rosie channel, you could consider joining the Patreon community, where there is a chat community (and Patreon-only Discord server) about topics covered in the videos and suggestions for future videos and production quality improvements. patreon.com/engineeringwithrosieOr for a one-off contribution you can support by buying a coffee ☕️ here — buymeacoffee.com/engwithrosieThe Engineering with Rosie team is:Rosemary Barnes: presenter, producer, writerJavi Diez: editor linkedin.com/in/javierdiezsuarez/?locale=en_USFatini Nur: Research and production assistant

We're going to find out where emissions in mining come from, what solutions are available, and check in on progress from the industry towards that goal.The general vibe is that we can make mining less harmful to the environment, it can be zero emissions, companies are already making moves in that direction and we’re going to find out about the technologies they’re using to achieve that. But the serious part is: mining doesn’t come without a local environmental cost. It can’t. This is one of those tricky tradeoff situations, where we have to do something a little bit bad, to prevent something very bad from happening.If you would like to help develop the Engineering with Rosie channel, you could consider joining the Patreon community, where there is a chat community (and Patreon-only Discord server) about topics covered in the videos and suggestions for future videos and production quality improvements. patreon.com/engineeringwithrosieOr for a one-off contribution you can support by buying a coffee ☕️ here — buymeacoffee.com/engwithrosieFollow us for more short videos:instagram.com/engwithrosietiktok.com/@engineeringwithrosie Bookmarks:00:00 Intro02:12 Problems in context04:44 Emissions in mining industry05:07 Extraction06:19 Processing07:32 Waste management08:22 Transportation08:38 Towards sustainable mining10:04 Zero-emission progress in iron mine (Fortescue) 11:45 Zero-emission progress in copper mine (Antofagasta)12:57 ConclusionSources:For data, images & graphscanadianminingmagazine.com/understanding-mining-waste-management-and-disposal-methodsthedriven.io/2023/07/27/fortescue-rolls-out-3mw-fast-charger-as-it-trials-huge-electric-and-hydrogen-haul-truckshttps://icn.org.au/project/pilbara-generation-project/fortescue.com/news-and-media/news/2022/07/05/fortescue-williams-(wae)-settlement-powers-development-of-world-first-infinity-train-2022-03-01weforum.org/agenda/2022/07/green-steel-emissions-net-zero/#:~:text=Climate%20Change,-Follow&text=Steel%20manufacturing%20produces%20more%20CO2,powered%20by%20electricity%20or%20hydrogen.hydrogenwire.com/2023/08/05/fortescue-to-have-the-first-green-hydrogen-fuel-cell-haul-truck-in-2023globalminingreview.com/mining/05122023/new-study-by-weir-highlights-energy-saving-opportunity-in-miningantofagasta.co.uk/sustainability/climate-changeJournals & Scientific Paperspubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2021/ee/d1ee02637bresearchgate.net/publication/339047501_Transparency_on_greenhouse_gas_emissions_from_mining_to_enable_climate_change_mitigationnature.com/articles/s41561-020-0531-3sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876610209000228?ref=pdf_download&fr=RR-2&rr=84a09c0f7f6c76c3nature.com/articles/s43247-022-00346-4sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0959652609003199link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12613-020-2155-4sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0959652609003199link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12613-020-2155-4Reportsiea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/ffd2a83b-8c30-4e9d-980a-52b6d9a86fdc/TheRoleofCriticalMineralsinCleanEnergyTransitions.pdfcdn.fortescue.com/docs/default-source/announcements-and-reports/2597653.pdf?sfvrsn=79eaba4e_8#:~:text=This%20report%20outlines%20our%20Board,Australian%20terrestrial%20iron%20ore%20operations.fortescue.com/docs/default-source/announcements-and-reports/climate-transition-plan.pdf?sfvrsn=45690705_9antofagasta.co.uk/media/4592/climate-change-report_fv3.pdfThe Engineering with Rosie team is:Rosemary Barnes: Presenter, producer, writerJavi Diez: Editor linkedin.com/in/javierdiezsuarezFatini Nur: Research and production assistant linkedin.com/in/fatinin

Mining for Battery Minerals Will Destroy the Environment?! EV Myth #5 of 5 Engineering with Rosie 2024-02-08 | Use discount code EEROSIE to get 20% off tickets to Everything Electric Australia in Sydney February 9,10, 11. Come for the CARS! Stay for the HOME ENERGY, Stage Sessions, Micro-Mobility, Zero Carbon Kitchen & more!Join me as I host 4 live sessions on Friday Feb 9. Tickets here: https://au.everythingelectric.show/Have you seen claims that EVs need so much mining they’re worse than petrol cars? Let’s dig beneath the surface to see the true story.It is true that an EV needs six times the minerals in a petrol car, but that's just part of the equation. The main reason we're switching from internal combustion to electric vehicles isn't because of what they’re made of, but because of what they avoid: fossil fuels.Take a typical petrol car. Over its lifetime, it burns around 17,000 liters of petrol. In contrast, an EV's battery metals weigh about 160 kg, a hundred times less. And the vast majority of battery materials are recyclable. Even without recycling, EVs drastically reduce the need for mined materials. We're talking a 99% reduction compared to petrol cars! And of course we know from myth 3 that EV batteries will be recycled so it’s more like a 99.9% reduction when you factor that in.There are extra greenhouse gas emissions for an EV relative to a petrol car that arise from mining and battery manufacture. So if you plan to buy a brand new car and never drive it, a petrol car *would* be the more climate friendly option. But if you are planning to drive that car, the difference is made up in about 20 thousand km based on our current electricity grid’s emissions, so after 1 or 2 years of average driving that’s less mining and less greenhouse gases for an EV compared to a petrol car.The shift to EVs isn't about choosing lesser evils. It's about making a transformative leap towards sustainability.Sources:iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/ffd2a83b-8c30-4e9d-980a-52b6d9a86fdc/TheRoleofCriticalMineralsinCleanEnergyTransitions.pdftransportenvironment.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/2021_02_Battery_raw_materials_report_final.pdf
