What if we could harness the power of gravity to tackle one of the biggest challenges of renewable energy storage?
China is doing exactly that with one pioneering gravity energy storage project.
Could gravity be the key to unlocking a cleaner, more reliable energy future?
And motivational Monday is here to turn meh into magic.
Tune in for stories and songs that will light a fire under your week.
Coming to you live from Beijing.
This is Roundtable.
I'm He Young.
For today's program, I'm joined by Steve Hatherley and Yu Xun in the studio.
First, on today's show, imagine using the simple force of gravity to store and release energy.
Sounds like something from the future, huh?
Well, China's making it a reality with its first gravity energy storage project.
In an eastern Coastal county, this 35 story facility, powered by massive 25 ton gravity blocks,
is set to revolutionize how we think about renewable energy storage.
So please explain, what is gravity energy storage?
These are three little words separately.
I understand what they mean, but put together, I'm like, huh?
Right?
