Institute (CERI). June 2006. Grant awarded to study energy storage and its
application to facilitate renewable energy development in
Colorado Department of
Agriculture. October 2006.
Between 2006 and 2008 over $300,000 US Dollars were
raised to support the study of energy storage. Multiple significant reports,
projects, papers, and provisional patent disclosures came out of this work. A
text book has been contracted for and is in development based on this work.
