Energy storage: The route to liberation from the fossil fuel economy?

Peter J. Hall

Energy Policy, 2008, vol. 36, issue 12, 4363-4367

Abstract: If a low-carbon energy strategy is to be developed up to 2050, renewable energy sources will need to be deployed on a large scale against a scenario of increasing global energy demand. Renewables will vary from large-scale regional wind and marine clusters to more localised 'micro' generation. If a low-carbon strategy is to be successful, automotive transport will also need to be linked to the renewable infrastructure. Both of these need the development of efficient and viable energy storage.
