⚠️ When uncertainty is included (Monte Carlo): 👉 Carnot (water) ≈ Li-ion Ranges overlap → no clear winner ❌ Thermal-oil Carnot batteries perform significantly worse (due to higher material + processing impacts)

✅ Water-based Carnot batteries outperform Li-ion in 13/18 categories 🌍 Up to ~23% lower climate impact (construction + end-of-life) ⚙️ Key driver: thermal energy storage systems → contribute >50% of total impacts → storage medium choice is critical

🔋 New paper: Are Carnot batteries greener than Li-ion for grid-scale storage? We compare Rankine-based Carnot batteries vs Li-ion using a full life cycle assessment (18 impact categories).

In our new paper in @Elsevier_ATE, we present a forward‑looking vision of the next generation of gas–solids fluidized bed technology — from advanced CFD/DEM modelling and AI‑enhanced design to carbon capture, co‑firing, and thermal energy storage. lnkd.in/gis-DBgp
