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 data revealed that all five battery technologies have high embodied-energy costs compared with pumped hydroelectric storage.

In a new piece of research, BloombergNEF (BNEF) finds that the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH 2 ) made from renewable electricity is set to fall faster than it previously estimated. These countries accounted for one-third of global GDP in 2019. Such low renewable hydrogen costs could completely rewrite the energy map.
