Hunter's comment

Basically, This is a development project by Google in which they are developing an innovative way to store energy which is generated by Solar or Wind Energy because up to 30% energy got wasted because it can't be used when it's produced.

Project Malta is building a grid-scale energy storage technology that stores electricity from renewable energy sources as heat inside large tanks of high temperature molten salt and as cold in large tanks of chilled liquid. source

Woow, this would greatly reduce waste of energy and also help have a great reserve of energy

Yes, You are right @ninuola :-)

Look at you go! Well done, your post has been cleared for liftoff--Keep it up Hunter!

Thanks a lot :-)

With the rising setup of sustainable energy collectors & harvesters - solar, wind, wave, etc - this tech will be highly useful to store energy as part of a smart energy grid infrastructure to save energy and deliver it where it is required. Inspiring hunt!

Energy stored. That sounds quite interesting.
I like this development project by Google, but it's not new to see Google being involved with helpful projects such as this.
It's really helpful and thoughtful for us.
It's really good hunt and I think it is a great idea

The video speakers keep talking about X so I suppose the product name is X, not Project Malta, isn't it? Project Malta is the name of the project but X is the name of the product, right? Or maybe I am just confused.

Hello @macoolette,
Actually, They are talking about 'X' basically Google X is a research lab by google and they are the researcher of X.

Thank you so much for your attention :-)

Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Your welcome @macolette. :-)

it seems like this could potentially be much more environmentally friendly than batteries too? I wonder if it's something that can be scaled down easily for small communities or families to use or if it requires being wired to a control/"smart" grid. You know if google involved there's going to be a way to use this to consolidate their control grid... ;-)

While we can harvest power, storing it is an issue that we are facing with.
This product is one way of solving this and it is really promising.

Congratulations!
