Engineer’s chemical energy machine invention could shake up renewable power

Much of the current discussion around renewable energy has centred on hydro, wind, solar and battery technology.

But work is now being done in a laboratory in Newcastle in New South Wales that may well result in a revolution in renewable power.

Behdad Mogtaderi is a chemical engineer at the University of Newcastle.

He has built a fully-functioning machine that he says can replace hot water systems and air conditioners, plus generate electricity, and store energy for when you need it.

The machine—called a Chemical Looping Energy on Demand System—was launched with little fanfare earlier this month, but it's already getting a lot of attention from international scientists and investors.
