For the chemists and electrochemists! A proposed system by my colleague #chemistry #electrochemistry #EnergyStorage

If anyone with some CFD/CAD experience was wanting to contribute to our open-source battery project at https://fbrc.dev, this would be a great way - the Forner-Cuenca group at TU/E released some software for modeling porous electrodes in flow batteries, if it could be adapted to our geometry, we could reduce pressure drop/improve flow uniformity, etc. Forum post with relevant links here: https://fbrc.nodebb.com/post/591

Hey all, I'll be at #FOSDEM this year with my colleague Daniel representing the Flow Battery Research Collective! Our talk is called "Scaling up open-source batteries: what's worth pursuing?"

It's at 12:30 on Saturday, livestream and recorded talk also available. Details here: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/3EEZZB-open-source-batteries/

"In 2025, coal-fired electricity generation fell simultaneously in India and China for the first time since 1973. India cut coal power 3% and China 1.6% as record solar, wind and storage additions outpaced rising demand. Together, these two countries account for roughly 40% of global annual CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels and industry."

"Developed by the Milan-based company Energy Dome, the bubble and its surrounding machinery demonstrate a first-of-its-kind 'CO2 Battery', as the company calls it. The facility compresses and expands CO2 daily in its closed system, turning a turbine that generates 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, or 20 MW over 10 hours. And in 2026, replicas of this plant will start popping up across the globe."
