How would storing renewable energy help to reach net zero? Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy creates clean power without producing greenhouse gases (GHGs) as a waste product. By storing and using renewable energy, the system as a whole can rely less on energy sourced from the more greenhouse-gas emitting fuels like coal, natural …
Storage is the key to the renewable energy revolution
Investment in renewable energy is skyrocketing, in line with ambitious national targets aimed at curbing carbon emissions. As renewable energy capacity grows, we must identify and expand better ways of storing this energy, to avoid waste and deal with demand spikes.
