- adrianN 4y agoNo the model is to have energy storage and phase out all fossil fuels. Using gas peakers is an intermediate step, but the plan is not to increase the amount of gas used, but instead to electrify processes that currently use gas (e.g. heating).
- finikytou 4y agoim highly interested. how do you store energy on a worldwide scale? what kind of technology will you use for storage and what are the implications of building/maintaining those storage facilities.
- adrianN 4y agoFrom what I hear there are several options, most promising seems to be a combination of some sort of batteries for buffering a few hours at most and Hydrogen for seasonal storage. Googling will probably provide you with several studies on how to do stable grids with 100% renewables, I know I've seen at least two in the past.
- finikytou 4y agook what do you need (in terms of materials) to build a battery to store such energy and what would it like on a global scale? once you found the answer you might not want to call it renewable energy except if child labor in lithium mines and rare minerals from china are renewable.
- adrianN 4y agoWait until you figure out what the alternatives require...
- mrguyorama 4y agoThe only reason this stuff is done in china instead of better places is because everywhere else Oil and Gas CEOs get to chime in for some damn reason.
