Recent decades have seen huge growth in the renewable energy
sector, spurred on by concerns about climate change and dwindling
supplies of fossil fuels. One of the major difficulties raised by
an increasing reliance on renewable resources is the inflexibility
when it comes to controlling supply in response to demand. For
example, solar energy can only be produced during the day. The
development of methods for storing the energy produced by renewable
sources is therefore crucial to the continued stability of global
energy supplies. However, as with all new technology, it is
important to consider the environmental impacts as well as the
benefits. This book brings together authors from a variety of
different backgrounds to explore the state-of-the-art of
large-scale energy storage and examine the environmental impacts of
the main categories based on the types of energy stored. A valuable
resource, not just for those working and researching in the
renewable energy sector, but also for policymakers around the
world.
