Hydrogen Energy Storage is Big in California – Energy Storage World Forum

The state of California has in recent times been setting a roadmap towards a smart energy future, and the latest measure involves hydrogen energy storage. The California Hydrogen Business Council has announced a project that seeks to promote the use of hydrogen as an energy storage medium. It hopes to eventually see greater take up of the technology as a result of the initiative.

The latest move complements the California Air Resources Board’s stated goal of achieving a third of electricity generation from renewable energy by 2020. By the end of the decade as well, grid operators are required to implement grid-scale energy storage and possess 1.3GW of energy storage capacity.

The president of CHBC, Mark Abramowitz, was bullish in his forecast, believing that “hydrogen energy storage will play an increasingly important part of the future energy mix in California as we extend the use of renewable power.” Ultimately, the organisation hopes to accelerate the state’s progress towards its smart energy future through the increased adoption of hydrogen energy storage.

If you want to know more about this and other topics directly from end users of energy storage technologies join us at one of these annual events: The Energy Storage World Forum (Grid Scale Applications), or The Residential Energy Storage Forum, or one of our Training Courses.

Dufresne (doo - frayn) Research specialises in creating high quality market driven conferences and training. The company focuses on stationary Energy Storage across all applications from Residential, Self - Consumption and Microgrid through to large scale stationary storage. We are Europe's first conference dedicated solely to energy storage since 2010. All of our Forum's culminate with the unique Building the Action Plan feature. Join us for this session and take back an action list to the workplace.
