SUMMARY:Green Energy Storage: Malta - Postponed Indefinitely
DESCRIPTION:Green Energy Storage: Malta - Postponed Indefinitely  \n\n\n\nT
 his event has been postponed indefinitely.\n\nMalta: Energy storage for 10
 0% carbon-free electricity\n\nMalta is an answer to one of the planet’s 
 most existential questions: Can wind and solar energy replace coal? The ad
 vent of renewable-energy sources is encouraging\, since three-quarters of 
 global carbon emissions come from fossil fuels. But there is no clean\, co
 st-effective\, grid-scale technology for storing wind or solar energy for 
 those times when the air is calm or the sky is dark. Malta has found a way
  to do it using molten salt. In Malta’s system\, power from wind or sola
 r would be converted into extremely hot and extremely cold thermal energy.
  The warmth would be stored in molten salt\, while the coolth would live i
 n antifreeze. A heat engine would then recombine the warmth and coolth as 
 needed\, converting them into electric energy that would be sent back out 
 to the grid whenever needed. X believes that salt-based thermal storage co
 uld be considerably cheaper than any other grid-scale storage technology i
 n the world. [adapted from The Atlantic]\nDr. Raj B. Apte joined X as a Ra
 pid Evaluator in 2015 to help look for new Moonshots. Prior to that\, he m
 anaged a team at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). P&amp\;G\, Sams
 ung\, Qualcomm\, Sony\, and Philips (among others) have licensed or acquir
 ed his inventions. Raj holds degrees from Stanford University and UC Berke
 ley. He has over 75 publications and 50 issued patents. \nPresenter: Dr. R
