Abstract: Recent work has shown that energy storage operating in a CO2 intensive grid can increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this paper we sought to characterise the emissions of Australia’s electricity grid to inform the planning and operation of energy storage with the goal of minimising emissions associated with energy storage and supporting the rapid decarbonisation of Australia’s energy system.
