6 FAQs about [Energy storage enters the game]

Why do we need battery energy storage systems?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have become a solution to prevent surpluses from being lost and to cover the intermittence of renewable energy. “We need energy storage solutions to make them permanent,” says researcher and electric battery expert Philippe Knauth in an interview for bbva.com.

Do we need energy storage solutions?

“We need energy storage solutions to make them permanent,” says researcher and electric battery expert Philippe Knauth in an interview for bbva.com. He also points out that the democratization of energy depends on “the combination of renewable energies and energy storage.”

Could a battery energy storage system democratize access to electricity?

Moreover, battery energy storage systems (BESS) could help democratize access to electricity. “In remote areas, such as in the mountains or in poorer countries, coupling renewable power with storage is a must for bringing energy to more people,” Knauth says. Yet energy storage systems have their hurdles.

Are energy storage systems safe?

Yet energy storage systems have their hurdles. “They do not last long enough. Some materials, like cobalt, are toxic; others are scarce. Most must be mined, which adds to carbon emissions,” he says. Today, lithium batteries are the most common. Their key strength is their high energy density, both by weight and by volume.

Why is China promoting energy storage at the 2025 two sessions?

The buzzword “energy storage” at the 2025 Two Sessions underscores China’s strategic focus on building a resilient, sustainable, and diverse energy system, contributing new efforts to a sustainable global future. The country’s progress in new-type energy storage highlights how innovation can drive both economic and environmental progress worldwide.

Is energy storage a good idea for small businesses?

On a smaller scale, energy storage is unlocking new economic opportunities for small businesses. By integrating renewable power with agriculture, individuals can store and supply excess energy, enhancing national grid resilience and diversity while generating profit. China has been a global leader in renewable energy for a decade.
