The Iron Age has been aching for a comeback after centuries lingering in the shadows, and the energy transition is finally providing it with a new beginning. Iron is the key ingredient in new large-scale, long duration energy storage platforms that will shunt more renewable resources into the grid, ensuring resiliency and reliability even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind doesn’t blow.Lithium-ion battery arrays have become the go-to energy storage technology for renewable resources.
In addition to stretching out the duration of the system, the Energy Department is also looking to reduce costs by 90%, partly by deploying Earth-abundant materials that are not exposed to high costs, supply chain risks, toxicity issues, and fire hazards.. However, their application is geographically limited because of water and elevation requirements.
“The attraction consisted partly of availability of a suitable brownfield, the abandoned Weirton Steel plant on the Ohio River,”observed. “Access to river, rail, and highway transportation corridors was another factor.” Apparently Republican State Treasurer Riley Moore did not get the same memo. Although his home state will soon host a factory that will send new long duration energy storage technology all over the country, Moore is currently running for Congress on a fossil energy protectionist platform. “I stopped the woke corporate agenda, put an end to the backdoor gun registry, fought for school choice, and stood up for our jobs against the radical green energy lobby,” Moore’s campaign website states.
