What is the future of energy storage?

Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.

Should energy storage be co-optimized?

Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible. Goals that aim for zero emissions are more complex and expensive than net-zero goals that use negative emissions technologies to achieve a reduction of 100%.

What is thermal energy storage?

Thermal energy storage (TES) can help to integrate high shares of renewable energy in power generation, industry, and buildings sectors. TES technologies include molten-salt storage and solid-state and liquid air variants.

Can Electrical and thermal energy storage facilitate deep decarbonisation?

This need to accommodate variable energy supply while providing undisrupted output in the electricity sector, as well as efforts to integrate renewables into the end-use sectors has brought into sharp relief the significant potential, as well as crucial importance, of electrical and thermal energy storage to facilitate deep decarbonisation.
