Summary: As variable renewable energy penetration increases, clean power systems will need long-duration energy storage or low-carbon generation to meet the demand. Current research shows that hydrogen systems with geologic storage and natural gas with carbon capture are the least-cost low-carbon technologies, with compressed air and pumped thermal storage potentially being the least-cost options in the current capital cost scenario under uncertainty. A new storage system using heavy-duty vehicle fuel cells could significantly reduce the levelized cost of energy and help enable very high renewable energy grids.
