Standard Carbon

The unbreakable spirit of Israel is alive and well at Standard Carbon. We continue to charge forward with innovative energy storage solutions, built to re-orient the global energy ecosystem, and are eager to make clean, affordable, dependable energy available to all.   

"If transmission is limited due to stability concerns, resources with attributes that can address those concerns (e.g., synchronous generators, [...]) may be given priority" https://lnkd.in/dZK66XQ7 This is from the US DOE... today! Standard Carbon has a simple solution: use inverter-based renewable power to create synthetic natural gas for baseload synchronous generation. This solves the interconnection backlog and enables the economy to run 100% on renewables even when there are clouds and no wind.

The U.S. grid interconnection queues saw a significant increase in 2023, with 2.6 TW of planned power projects seeking connections, up 27% from the previous year. Given the urgent need for more efficient interconnection processes and the challenges posed by the current reliance on lithium-ion batteries, Standard Carbon’s innovative approach not only complements the existing grid infrastructure but could also spearhead the transition towards a grid that is 100% reliant on renewable energy and storage.

This is how Standard Carbon's power to methane technology makes money. We take essentially free renewable electricity that is not needed, of which there is an ample and ever growing amount, and turn it into dispatchable gas fired generation that can be sold at the time of greatest profitability. Arbitrage: buy low, sell high.

Deployment of renewable energy assets is Shackled by necessary regulatory management of inverter-based sources of power. these delays are a death sentence for the energy transition. Standard Carbon's solution of converting renewable energy into base load synchronous gas-fired generation is essential for accelerating the rollout of the renewable energy economy.

Day ahead electricity markets in the UK are negative for 12 hours on Saturday! Lithium-ion batteries can't even begin to correct the market failure that is on display here, because they lack the physical capacity to soak up such a titanic quantity of surplus renewable electricity. Only long duration energy storage deployed in a scalable fashion can eliminate negative electricity pricing and thereby enable renewable energy to fulfill its promise: Standard Carbon

Standard Carbon has hundreds of megawatts worth of renewable energy projects in the pipeline specifically built around addressing this problem by integrating our Carbon Bridge long duration energy storage system to provide a total solution where we turn intermittent renewable energy that is difficult to integrate into the grid into dispatchable base load power that is 100% renewable.

What if we could keep internal combustion cars and achieve electrification at the same time? This is the Standard Carbon solution: the cars run on compressed natural gas, they store the CO2 emissions, then when charged, they convert the CO2 back into compressed natural gas with renewable electricity. Zero greenhouse gas emissions and zero changes to the way people drive.
