Innovation is not everyone’s cup of tea. Innovators that make a material and positive impact are rare. In this panel we will hear from innovators who have incubated new ideas that are making a difference toward reducing emissions and addressing climate change.
With over half of US states adopting renewable energy goals, and countries across the world setting ambitious renewable targets, the need for long-duration bulk storage is becoming pressing as evidenced by ever-increasing amounts of curtailed renewable electricity. Matching abundant, low-cost, renewable generation supply with demand throughout the year requires longer-duration storage, including multi-day and seasonal storage. Without significant deployment of long-duration storage, clean energy policy goals will not be met. What technologies will play the greatest role in providing long-duration storage? How can we best value the reliability provided by long-duration storage?
