Are there any carbon index requirements for energy storage projects

What is the 'guidance' for the energy storage industry?

Based on the above analysis, as the first comprehensive policy document for the energy storage industry during the ‘14th Five-Year Plan’ period, the ‘Guidance’ provided reassurance for the development of the industry.

Why is energy storage important?

Driven by the national strategic goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, energy storage, as an important technology and basic equipment supporting the new power systems, has become an inevitable trend for its large-scale development.

What is the 'guidance on accelerating the development of new energy storage?

Since April 21, 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have issued the ‘Guidance on Accelerating the Development of New Energy Storage (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)’ (referred to as the ‘Guidance’), which has given rise to the energy storage industry and even the energy industry.

Will energy storage eliminate industrial development?

In the context of the ‘dual-carbon’ goal and energy transition, the energy storage industry’s leapfrog development is the general trend and demand. The follow-up actions will inevitably introduce a series of policies for the development of energy storage to eliminate industrial development. Faced with ‘obstacles’ one by one.

What are the characteristics of energy storage systems?

Two important attributes of an energy storage system typically are used together to define its “size”: (i) the amount of capacity (mea-sured in MW) the storage system can instantaneously charge or discharge, and, (ii) the total amount of energy (measured in MWh) the system can deliver.

How many CO2 storage sites are there?

CO 2 has been injected into the Earth’s subsurface since the 1970s and dedicated CO 2 storage (where CO 2 is injected for the purpose of its storage and not for CO 2 -based enhanced oil recovery) has been occurring since 1996. There are seven commercial-scale dedicated CO 2 storage sites today, with more than 100 others in development.
