Will the new local energy be wind power or energy storage

What is new energy storage?

New energy storage, or energy storage using new technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, liquid flow batteries, compressed air and mechanical energy, is an important foundation for building a new power system in China, enjoying the advantages of quick response, flexible configuration and short construction periods.

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.

Are wind turbines and solar panels the future of energy?

Wind turbines and solar panels have popped up across landscapes, contributing an ever-increasing share of electricity. In 2021 alone, nearly 295 gigawatts of new renewable power capacity was added worldwide. This trend points to a significant move away from the environmentally harmful practice of burning fossil fuels.

Could liquid air energy storage be a low-cost alternative?

A new model developed by an MIT-led team shows that liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost option for ensuring a continuous supply of power on a future grid dominated by carbon-free but intermittent sources of electricity.

How will new energy change the world?

New energy will gradually transition from auxiliary energy and supplementary energy to dominant energy and alternative energy . In summary, wind power, PV power and other new energy power generations will become a powerful boost to achieve “dual carbon” goals, striving to achieve carbon peaks in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060.

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.
