Why hydrogen is the better battery
Hydrogen addresses this in two ways. Firstly, green hydrogen is, in one respect, a "better battery" than the Li-ion subset, with problems of longevity, rarity of core components and carbon debt in their production. In the last two decades there has been a "gold rush" in the sustainable energy sector, and many wind and solar assets have ...
Electricity Storage Technology Review
Pumped hydro makes up 152 GW or 96% of worldwide energy storage capacity operating today. Of the remaining 4% of capacity, the largest technology shares are molten salt (33%) and lithium-ion batteries (25%). Flywheels and Compressed Air Energy Storage also make up a large part of the market.
