Closing the energy storage gap

Energy storage systems of various kinds are becoming increasingly important components of the emerging, decarbonized energy systems of the future. This research report – which includes a specialist survey of over 400 senior executives with involvement in energy storage systems – reveals the extent and direction of current trends in this critical area. Most agree that to support electrification and decarbonization goals, we need to rapidly expand energy storage capacity and services. However, this expansion is hampered by several major barriers which are delaying progress towards cleaner, more resilient and more efficient energy systems.
