The role of energy storage tech in the energy transition
The World Economic Forum supports an integrated approach to energy solutions, including energy storage, advanced nuclear, clean fuels, hydrogen and carbon removal.
The reliance of virtually all industries on electric power and fuels means that all sectors have some dependence on the Energy Sector. The Energy Sector is well aware of its vulnerabilities and is leading a significant voluntary effort to increase its planning and preparedness.
Energy storage has the potential to play a crucial role in the future of the power sector. However, significant research and development efforts are needed to improve storage technologies, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.
o the production, conversion, delivery, and use of electric power. This means all the tangible stuf like power plants, power lines, substations and transformers, but also the peopl – the consumers – and all the ways they use that electricity. As shown in the original diagram, the power sector is linked with, a
The energy storage sector is evolving rapidly, with a variety of systems currently in use or under development. These systems include batteries, mechanical storage, thermal storage, and hydrogen storage, all of which are crucial to reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and creating flexible, resilient energy grids. 1.
