The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects that low inventories of distillate fuels, which are primarily consumed as diesel fuel and heating oil, will lead to high prices through early 2023. Renewable energy is the only source that increases its share of electricity generation in 2023 in our forecasts,” DeCarolis said.

Renewable energy sources are central to the energy transition toward a more sustainable future. However, because sunshine and wind are inherently variable and inconsistent, finding ways to store energy in an accessible and efficient way is crucial. An open-access paper on the work is published in the journal Energies.
