Frost & Sullivan: The Need for Renewable Energy Storage Solutions Offers Booming Opportunities
Frost & Sullivan to Host a web conference on Renewable Energy Storage on Wednesday, 10 February at 2 pm GMT
LONDON, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- As more and more countries look to renewable energy in the quest to mitigate climate change, demand for energy storage technologies capable of overcoming its intermittent nature is growing rapidly. Not only do batteries and alternative technologies like flywheels and ultracapacitors store clean energy, they enable operators to release it strategically and efficiently, thereby avoiding major demand-supply gaps and maximising profit. In response to this growing interest in alternative energy storage technologies, manufacturers are redoubling their R&D efforts to increase power density and efficiency, rendering this market a veritable hotspot for growth and investment.
