Energy storage is a technology that holds energy at one time so it can be used at another time. Building more energy storage allows renewable energy sources like wind and solar to power more of our electric grid.
Improved Air Quality: By capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power generation, these technologies can improve air quality and reduce health issues related to air pollution. Cleaner air benefits communities by decreasing respiratory illnesses and other health problems. 4. Carbon storage solutions
In partially decarbonized electricity systems, periods of high demand can coincide with higher emission generators being active—such that storage discharging at these peak times reduces emissions, so long as the difference in emission factors compensates for the round trip losses.
Energy can also be stored by making fuels such as hydrogen, which can be burned when energy is most needed. Pumped hydroelectricity, the most common form of large-scale energy storage, uses excess energy to pump water uphill, then releases the water later to turn a turbine and make electricity.
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%.
Capacity expansion modelling (CEM) approaches need to account for the value of energy storage in energy-system decarbonization. A new Review considers the representation of energy storage in the CEM literature and identifies approaches to overcome the challenges such approaches face when it comes to better informing policy and investment decisions.
