Hydrogen is increasingly being touted as the ideal technology for both electricity storage and balancing renewable generation on the grid. The reality is more nuanced

The challenge of grid stability currently costs the grid about a half of energy balancing, but it is growing faster; within a very few years

Throughout the energy transition, technology after technology has been lauded as “the big thing” of the energy transition, “the solution” to the challenges involved –

Most people discuss electricity storage as though the challenge were just energy: balancing renewables, providing enough energy when they’re not generating as much as is

Carbon Capture, Use and Storage (CCUS) and CCS The strategy for continuing to use gas-fired power stations to balance grids, and for continuing to produce

Electric Vehicles (EVs) Batteries are the major technology being proposed for the decarbonisation of transportation, but not the right technology. It has a number of

There are many current issues facing the energy system which are challenging enough without confusing political challenges with regulatory ones. Too many political challenges are being given to regulators to sort out, which is grossly complicating matters for all parties.

Introduction It has been widely reported that grid balancing costs in the UK have doubled between September and November, which is concerning both Ofgem and

This report analyses the emissions benefits (avoided emissions) of Storelectric’s Green CAES and Hydrogen CAES plants. For Hydrogen CAES, a methane-fired version is considered; if

Hydrogen is an essential part of the Net Zero economy, so we support funding for developing its technologies. However it is not a panacea for
