I can say in order to be the most effective, energy storage solutions should be incorporated into the electrical grid, heating and cooling networks and natural gas system
The use of energy storage could substantially reduce the production of greenhouse gas by enabling the substantial adoption of renewable power generation, as it would lower the cost of hooking up these resources to the grid and of managing the variability of generation.
Energy storage charged from low-carbon sources may also be used to dislodge fossil fuel generation to smooth out the fluctuations over periods of less than 15 minutes. This use of energy storage could decrease the quantity of fossil fuels used up by generators, leading to emission reductions.
