Jump-Starting Global Grid Decarbonization: US-Dutch Partnerships Energize Utility-Scale Battery Deployment

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The United States and the Netherlands heavily invest in renewable energy as part of their individual commitments to net zero emissions by 2050. Weather-dependent fluctuations in wind and solar power, along with limitations in legacy infrastructure and systems, restrict the on-demand use of these renewables and pose substantial bottlenecks to the energy transition. Integration of dynamic energy storage technologies into modernized electrical systems will provide crucial solutions to overcome these challenges. Herein, we profile stakeholder perspectives on the energy transition and present our recommendations for US-Dutch collaboration on utility-scale electrochemical battery solutions to update power grids with robust, accessible, and sustainable carbon-free flexible energy capacity.
