Contributing to a net zero-emissions mankind Since fossil fuels started to be used as energy sources at the end of the 17th century, the concentration of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere has increased and increased. Since the 70s, anthropogenic emissions of these gases —mainly CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs and PFCs— have increased [...]
The success of battery energy storage systems According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global installed capacity of battery storage projects has soared from 0.2GW to 3.1GW in the last five years. This is over fifteen times increase, and the trend does not show any signs of reaching a plateau. There are [...]
Taking on the function of fossil fuel plants According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global installed capacity of battery storage projects has increased over 15 times in the last five years. Why is this happening? There are two reasons behind it: the needs of the changing power systems and technological advances [...]
