Driving to Net Zero Industry Through Long Duration Energy Storage
Technologies to decarbonize industry.
There are multiple long duration energy storage technologies commercially available and under development. In general, these
technologies provide more than eight hours of energy using a variety of electrochemical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical
storage media.
Many of these technologies have been under development for more than a decade and oftentimes utilize existing motors,
pumps and other equipment that has already been utilized in other industries.
The importance of long duration energy storage technologies will increase in line with increasing saturation of intermittent
renewable energy supply on electric grids around the world.
This report examines how long duration energy storage technologies can decarbonize fossil fueled industrial processes
by utilizing this renewable energy supply to provide reliable baseload electric supply.
