SUSTAINABILITY - Renewable power energy storage is as crucial as producing it. We delved into some of the main battery storage technologies. Batteries come in any form, shape, and, most importantly, chemistry. In the puzzle called energy storage systems of the future, they represent an essential piece to fully exploit the potential of renewable power
A new report by RMI says batteries are on the path to replace 175 EJ of fossil fuel demand in the power sector, 86 EJ of fossil fuels from road transport and can put at risk another 23 EJ from shipping and aviation. That equates to a phaseout of half of global fossil fuel
