Energy storage

Stabilising the energy system against fluctuating imbalances between supply and demand requires the ability to store energy generated by wind, solar and other renewables for later use

Stabilising the energy system against fluctuating imbalances between supply and demand requires the ability to store energy generated by wind, solar and other renewables for later use. Currently, it is difficult to store energy at the necessary scale without a significant loss, and not one storage technology will do the job alone. In Denmark, integrating energy systems across gas, electricity, thermal energy and transportation, as well as increased electrification of the energy sector, serve as multiple, local storage capacities e.g. by converting power to gas or using electric vehicles. Both in Denmark and abroad, much research focuses on chemical energy storage, batteries and thermal energy storage.

We invite you to explore solutions related to energy storage in more depth below, find potential partners, catch up on the latest news and discover real-life case examples of how energy storage can help solve your environmental and energy challenges.

New circular economy project: Wind power to be stored as green ammonia

The circular economy entails reusing and reutilising resources. A new pilot plant is to be established that will store surplus energy from wind turbines and transform it into a sustainable, green ammonia product. Doing so will also help reduce CO2 emissions.
