The team worked out that a 45 cubic meter material block of nanocarbon-black-doped concrete would have enough capacity to store about 10kWh of energy

Try to visualise 45 cubic meters for the energy storage for 1 person for 1 day without any heating/cooling

Okay and now I need eleven of these, our house of 4 uses 110kwh per day

Per day?!

Wow. Our house of two adults and two kids use 27kwh per day...

Yeah it's cold so the heat pump air conditioning takes about 80kwh each day to heat the house to 17-18C
