Benson from Stanford University and Stanford’s Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) has quantified the energetic costs of 7 different grid-scale energy storage technologies over time. The five battery technologies fared much worse. Lithium-ion batteries were the best performers, with an ESOI value of 10. Click to enlarge.
