Storage of renewable energy essential to net zero transition: Aus experts
Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) on Wednesday called for significant investment in renewable energy storage to keep up with rising electricity demand.
The CSIRO released its roadmap for renewable energy storage in Australia, reports Xinhua news agency.
It found that the storage capacity of the national electricity market (NEM) could require a 10 to 14-fold increase between 2025 and 2050 with demand projected to rise rapidly as the building and transport industries electrify.
It said all forms of storage must be considered to meet growing demand on top of established technologies such as batteries and pumped hydro.
