The capabilities of lithium-ion battery storage in providing long-duration energy storage to global energy systems should not be overlooked, write Kotub Uddin and Sam Secher of Envision.
Global decarbonisation targets are impossible without increasing the pace of long-duration energy storage (LDES) adoption 50 times over by 2040, according to the LDES Council.
Penny Sharpe, the New South Wales energy minister, has announced plans to legislate a new long-duration energy storage (LDES) target for the Australian state of 28GWh by 2034.
Business model innovation and considering how to integrate projects into the wider energy systems will be key for long-duration energy storage (LDES) companies, partners at VC firm RA Capital told Energy-Storage.news.
Some long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies are already cost-competitive with lithium-ion (Li-ion) but will struggle to match the incumbent’s cost reduction potential.
