2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. While lithium isn’t exactly in short supply, extracting it from the ground exacts a huge environmental cost.

Nio currently buys most of its batteries from CATL and has been exploring battery supplies from new partners such as CALB. Swapping could help to ease the strain on power grids at peak times when drivers recharge, but industry analysts and executives expect it will only become mainstream if batteries become more standardised.

What separates the Italian major from the likes of Repsol and BP with comparable commitments is that ENI has pledged to rein in Scope 3 emissions as well--or emissions generated by ENI’s supply chain partners and end-users. Further, natural gas can be used to keep the power grid stable as solar and wind power fluctuate.

And with the popularity of electric vehicles, the grid is under more and more pressure, so the demand for energy storage is growing. This article will answer your confusion. But feasibility in today’s grid applications requires the application of the latest technologies. So what exactly is energy storage? Mechanical storage.

In a typical scenario, wind power out at sea would be converted only once to direct current and then used to electrolyze water. The water supply would literally surround the offshore platform—all that would be needed would be to desalinate and purify it. It turns out that the former option is better.

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.
