Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
This report is one in a series of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Storage Futures Study (SFS) publications. The SFS is a multiyear research project that explores the role and impact of energy storage in the evolution and operation of the U.S. power sector.
Energy storage is not a new technology. The earliest gravity-based pumped storage system was developed in Switzerland in 1907 and has since been widely applied globally. However, from an industry perspective, energy storage is still in its early stages of development.
Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible.
Energy storage technologies are valuable components in most energy systems and could be an important tool in achieving a low-carbon future. These technologies allow for the decoupling of energy supply and demand, in essence providing a valuable resource to system operators.
This roadmap reports on concepts that address the current status of deployment and predicted evolution in the context of current and future energy system needs by using a “systems perspective” rather than looking at storage technologies in isolation.

Enabling greater incorporation of renewable energy generation— While collecting the renewable power inputs from RES, hydrogen, as a kind of energy storage, can offer fuel for creating electricity or heat or fueling an automobile. The stored hydrogen can be used to generate electricity or in other energy-intensive sectors. . High capital cost of the liquid— Hydrogen energy storage is more costly than fossil fuel. The majority of these hydrogen storage technologies are. [pdf]

It is the first set production line for hydrogen energy industrial vehicle manufacturing in China, the Global Times learned from a Saturday press conference, hosted by the China Energy Research Society and local governments. The production line was completed by the Just Power, a power technology company in Guangdong, within six months.
Europe’s first hydrogen fueling stations were opened in the German cities of Hamburg and Munich The International Energy Agency (IEA) was established in r esponse to global oil market disruptions. IEA activities included the research and development of hydrogen energy technologies NASA has been using hydrogen as rocket fuel since inception.
1959 – Francis Thomas Bacon builds the Bacon Cell, the first practical 5 kW hydrogen-air fuel cell to power a welding machine. 1960 – Allis-Chalmers builds the first fuel cell forklift. 1961 – RL-10 liquid hydrogen-fuelled rocket engine first flight.
This is a timeline of the history of hydrogen technology. c. 1520 – First recorded observation of hydrogen by Paracelsus through dissolution of metals (iron, zinc, and tin) in sulfuric acid. 1625 – First description of hydrogen by Johann Baptista van Helmont. First to use the word "gas".
The comparison of hydrogen production costs based on technology is shown in Fig. 12 (International Energy Agency, 2023). Fig. 12. Hydrogen production cost based on various technologies (International Energy Agency, 2023). Presently, approximately, the cost of production for a range of 500,000 devices is 45 per kilowatt (Banham and Ye, 2017).
