Iron-Air Batteries Could Be The Breakthrough Energy Markets Are Waiting For

May be worth paying a little attention to this.
Form Energy....claims that its iron-air battery can deliver electricity for 100 hours at one-tenth the cost of lithium-ion batteries.

...the degree and level of reduction in battery storage costs predicted by Form Energy’s new product is a game changer. It has the potential to completely change the discussion about decarbonization of electricity and the related role of storage.

The clear loser here is natural gas as a boiler fuel for electric power generation.

...a relatively inexpensive 100 hour plus utility-scale storage battery is as disruptive a technological force for the electric utility industry as anything we have ever seen.
