Baseload Renewables, developing ultra low-cost energy storage to replace fossil baseload generation with renewable energy to successfully reduce carbon on a global level.
Description

Description

Baseload Renewables has a simple but hugely ambitious goal: to enable renewable energy to replace fossil fuels as baseload electric power. Yet-Ming Chiang started with the end in mind, knowing that the eventual solution would have to be incredibly cost-effective in order to scale on a global level. He started with the functions of the current energy baseload and moved backward. The company is planning a wholesale replacement of the whole grid, removing carbon from the equation. When you imagine a 24-hour period, the energy grid currently demonstrates some peak generation and then some energy below that, known as the baseload.
