The Future of Energy Storage
Addressing climate change—particularly at reasonable cost—will require advancements in a range of energy-related technologies. The Advanced Energy Technologies Series accompanies the work RFF researchers are undertaking to understand and examine the cost trajectories and future deployment potential of these technologies. Join ESA’s VP of Research and Programs, Marc Chupka, on Thursday, October 29, for a discussion on the future of energy storage, which many experts look to as a critical complement to intermittent energy sources like solar and wind.
Marc Chupka will share information on the current state of short-duration and long-duration storage technologies, what challenges remain in both development and deployment, and policy drivers impacting the future of energy storage in the United States. RFF Senior Fellow and Future of Power Initiative Director Karen Palmer will then moderate a Q&A session. The event is geared toward audiences with some existing background knowledge of energy storage topics, although anyone interested in learning about the subject is welcome to attend.
