Energy storage - an effective weapon in the fight against emissions

More than one quarter of all emissions CO2 are the emissions hard to eliminate. The political will to invest in such technologies is simply not enough in many countries. In the energy sector, switching to renewable energy sources (RES) appears to be a logical and economical solution. With FUERGY, the whole world can start reducing CO2 emission now. And the best way to deal with the short-term imbalances caused by the consumption peaks, such as Duck curve, is the lithium ion battery. Technology such as brAIn by FERGY can prepare very precise predictions about energy production. Short-term energy storage (understand weeks or months) is a tougher nut to crack. There are other methods that can efficiently conserve energy for a longer time. Back-up power plants can be used to store energy storage, we have the concrete gravity trains riding up and down the hill and cranes moving the concrete blocks and other methods.

How cheap must batteries get for renewables to compete with fossil fuels?

Researchers looked at what would be required to reliably meet demand over 20 years. They found that providing baseload power at a price comparable to a nuclear power station would require energy storage capacity costs to fall below $20 per kilowatt hour (kWh.
