‘Battery guru’ says more energy storage research needed

Sanjeev Mukerjee, who heads Northeastern University’s Center for Renewable Energy Technology, will be among the panelists Friday at the Charlotte Chamber’s annual Energy Summit. Known as “the battery guru,” Mukerjee says renewable energy, with its on-and-off cycles, won’t reach its potential until there’s a way to store energy.

Northeastern University professor Sanjeev Mukerjee is working to lower the cost of fuel cells to make gasoline-powered cars obsolete in the energy storage revolution

Sanjeev Mukerjee, a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Northeastern, is working to develop technology to lower the cost of fuel cells for energy-efficient cars that run on hydrogen gas, emit only fresh water, and don’t pollute the environment.

Fuel-efficient cars are expensive. These researchers are trying to make them more affordable.

Northeastern professor Sanjeev Mukerjee and his research partner have received a $1 million grant from the Department of Energy to develop technology to lower the cost of fuel cells for energy-efficient cars.

3Qs: Tesla’s Powerwall for home energy storage

Professor Sanjeev Mukerjee, director of the Northeastern University Center for Renewable Energy Technology, says the new Powerwall lithium-ion battery is a good first foray into home energy storage but notes that the “ultimate solution” will require bringing down costs even further.

Where to put all the energy

Northeastern University convened experts from industry, government, and academia last week to discuss advancements in next-generation energy storage and battery technologies—both of which have major implications for global challenges in energy consumption, materials shortages, and climate change.
