Can energy storage be a key tool for achieving a low-carbon future?

One of the key goals of this new roadmap is to understand and communicate the value of energy storage to energy system stakeholders. Energy storage technologies are valuable components in most energy systems and could be an important tool in achieving a low-carbon future.

What are energy storage technologies?

Energy storage technologies are valuable components in most energy systems and could be an important tool in achieving a low-carbon future. These technologies allow for the decoupling of energy supply and demand, in essence providing
 a valuable resource to system operators.

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.

Where can I find information about energy storage research products?

You can visit the website of CNESA, www.esresearch.com.cn, to learn more about research products on energy storage industry. Please contact CNESA if you have any questions:

What are the main drivers of energy storage growth in the world?

The main driver is the increasing need for system flexibility and storage around the world to fully utilise and integrate larger shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) into power systems. IEA. Licence: CC BY 4.0 Utility-scale batteries are expected to account for the majority of storage growth worldwide.

What is the world's largest electricity storage capacity?

Global capability was around 8 500 GWh in 2020, accounting for over 90% of total global electricity storage. The world’s largest capacity is found in the United States. The majority of plants in operation today are used to provide daily balancing. Grid-scale batteries are catching up, however.
