As renewable energy sources have matured and become more affordable, a challenge remains in dramatically increasing the amount of clean power on the electric grid: long-duration energy storage. They also have a lifespan of 30 years—significantly longer than that of lithium-ion batteries—and aren’t prone to battery fires or explosions.

From alkaline batteries for small electronics to lithium-ion batteries for cars and laptops, most people already use batteries in many aspects of their daily lives. For example, high-capacity batteries with long discharge times – up to 10 hours – could be valuable for storing solar power at night or increasing the range of electric vehicles.

After all, as the electrification of heat and transport gathers pace, Britain's peak demand capacity is set to grow to 80GW by 2050, up from 50GW today, and the fossil fuel gas-fired power stations that supply much of this power peak demand today are clearly incompatible with the nation's mid-century net zero target.

Beginning in 1958, these were augmented by nuclear power plants, which have operated nearly continuously to pay off their large capital investments. Unlike coal and nuclear, solar and wind are variable; they provide power only when the sun and wind are available. However, new nuclear plants in the U.S.

The report lays out five alternative pathways to reaching its targets, ranging from those that rely on a complete shift to renewable energy and electrifying transport and buildings, to those that rely more on nuclear power, carbon capture and storage or biomass to decarbonize. In the U.S.,
