After more than a century of dependence on fossil fuels, there are now numerous alternatives that can not only provide the energy required to meet global demand but also reduce carbon emissions. With no quick fix or one-size-fits all approach, how do we get there?
A lack of reliability and a mismatch between supply and demand are barriers to greater use of renewable energy. Could battery storage be the answer to this conundrum?
Hydrogen has not quite lived up to its potential as a source of ‘green’ energy. New technology, the ‘renewables’ revolution and global government policy changes look set brighten its long-term prospects.
