A greener future with energy storage solutions

Energy storage supports the energy transition

Generating electricity from renewables varies greatly due to the unpredictable nature of the weather. In some cases, renewable power plants end up producing more electricity than is actually needed for current demands. Energy storage systems solve this problem by storing surplus supply and make it available at a later time when demand is high. Electricity can then be taken from the stored energy and fed into the grid.

Energy storage systems are not only crucial in expanding the role of renewables but also play a key role in sector coupling. Sector coupling integrates large-scale energy consumers – buildings (heat and cold), transport, and industry – with the power sector, establishing a more interconnected and efficient power supply network. This enables electricity from renewables to become the central pillar of supply, moving away from fossil fuels and driving decarbonization. As well as electricity, any excess energy can also be used as heat and cold, or as synthetic fuel, e.g. for transportation.

So, as part of the transition to a carbon neutral economy, energy storage systems and conversion technologies – such as power-to-X – ensure sustainable, reliable, and cost-efficient energy and fuel solutions.
