Rosie on Long-Duration Storage
Important message: we need FAR LESS seasonal storage then we anticipated earlier in order to deal with “Dunkelflaute”, although it does make a difference if you are talking about Australia or, say, Germany. The key message is: don’t exaggerate with full decarbonization ambition. Opting for 10-15% fossil fuel/nuclear can eliminate most of the intermittency and storage pain. Lithium-ion, with its plummeting per kWh storage price, can do much more than we used to think.
