For many years, the most technologically advanced countries in the world have placed hydrogen storage at the forefront of their research. The decision was made because it is believed that hydrogen can assist address the rising energy demand and slow down global climate change.
Pumped-storage is a common type of energy storage. Hydroelectric power is generally used to store excess grid power. Electricity from the grid is often used to pump water up into a tank or lake when demand is low. Water is permitted to flow from an upper reservoir to a lower reservoir when demand spikes.
