Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) offers a definitive path to ensure uninterrupted, carbon-neutral power for grid-connected electric applications. It stands as the next frontier in shaping a robust, low-carbon electricity grid. When coupled with renewable sources, these technologies have the potential to slash global industrial greenhouse gas emissions by an impressive 65%.

As the grid sees a surge in variable renewable energy sources and a decline in fossil fuel-based capacity, the prominence of LDES technologies is on the rise, emerging as pivotal players in grid stabilization.

The current challenge lies in comprehending the economic dynamics of various long-duration storage technologies, their Levelized Cost of Storage (LCOS), and devising strategies to select the most suitable technology for individual projects.

Join us in this webinar to gain comprehensive insights into the world of long-duration energy storage technologies, exploring their economic viability and practical considerations for real-world LDES project development. In this session, we will:

• Understand the evolving requirements for long-duration electricity storage from 2030 to 2050 and their implications on the electricity system of Great Britain
• Assess the potential benefits of long duration storage in contributing to a net-zero energy system in Great Britain
• Explore the economic and operational advantages of long-duration energy storage through an analysis of diverse technologies like flow batteries, pumped hydro, liquid air, and more
• Gain exclusive insights into how financial institutions evaluate the commercial and technological risks associated with storage proposals, along with effective risk mitigation strategies
• Delve into the role of government subsidies and aids aimed at fostering the commercialization and development of these groundbreaking technologies

Join us as we navigate through the transformative landscape of long-duration energy storage, paving the way for a sustainable energy future in the UK.
