Energy Storage: EU energy imports currently exceed 54% and in Ireland this figure is 88%[1].

To ensure future energy security the EU has set energy storage as an important vector which needs to be included in the energy mix to ensure continuity of supply. As renewable energy deployments continue[2] there is a increasing requirement for energy storage to address issues of intermittency and to add value by providing delivery during peak demand. Energy storage has been highlighted by the EU as being one of the key priority actions[3] which needs to be address in the near term and there is substantial knowledge and solutions currently available in the field which can be used today to address these energy storage challenges. Energy storage using hydrogen is safe and economical and solutions which cater for power applications ranging from kilowatts through to megawatt capacity are already in operation in various industries across the globe. Scontar Technologies design energy storage solutions which are capable of storing and releasing all power ranges using technologies which best suit your application and environmental conditions.
