This book assesses how low-carbon generation the advance of energy storage and consumer-based models can help decarbonise electricity supplies at a national level. This book is built around developing a decarbonised electricity mix for Britain which reduces fossil fuels from 50% of supply in 2018 down to levels within 2030 carbon targets. Crossland explores the idea of a future energy storage mix which blends domestic batteries vehicles thermal stores and pumped hydro to provide a flexible responsive electricity system. He then goes on to look at how much storage can contribute to decarbonisation in a multitude of contexts â from domestic to national electricity. This book also discusses how efficiency and self-sufficiency can bring about a decarbonised electricity use within our homes today. Britain is used as the main example but the themes and conclusions are applicable to a global audience and each chapter draws on practical case studies from around the world to illustrate key ideas. Drawing on the authorâs experience in delivering and analysing low-carbon energy projects in the UK Sub-Saharan Africa Latin America and Oceania this book will be of great relevance to students scholars and industry specialists with an interest in energy technology policy and storage. .
