In the discourse on energy storage technologies, hydrogen energy storage, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and redox flow batteries (RFBs) often stand in comparison, each displaying a unique set of economic and technical pros and cons. Economically, hydrogen storage systems are more expensive than batteries in the short to

The energy transition to low-carbon systems is a key challenge for the coming decades. Renewable energy sources (RES), such as wind and solar power, can play a crucial role in tackling climate change and reducing CO 2 emissions. However, the fluctuating nature and limited predictability of these energy sources, and the resulting non-dispatchability of power
Grid-scale battery storage in particular needs to grow significantly. In the Net Zero Scenario, installed grid-scale battery storage capacity expands 35-fold between 2022 and 2030 to nearly 970 GW. Around 170 GW of capacity is added in 2030 alone, up from 11 GW in 2022. To get on track with the Net Zero Scenario, annual additions must pick up

Energy storage plays a substantial role in system operation. More than half of load is met using energy storage, which coincides with significant overgeneration and curtailment of wind, as well as efficiency losses. Overgeneration, curtailment, and efficiency losses decline substantially by 2050, while the role of energy storage increases.

Hydrogen storage boasts an average energy storage duration of 580 h, compared to just 6.7 h for battery storage, reflecting the low energy capacity costs for hydrogen storage. Substantial additions to interregional transmission lines, which expand from 21 GW in 2025 to 47 GW in 2050, can smooth renewable output variations across wider geographic areas.
It is possible to develop a more adaptable and sustainable energy system by combining hydrogen storage with battery storage. This integration facilitates the energy sector’s decarbonization and opens up new uses for hydrogen, such as in industrial processes, transportation, and as a source of synthetic fuels.
Hydrogen storage plays a key role in achieving cost-effective system configurations that rely entirely on local RESs. In the case study of Pantelleria, the NPC of the only-battery energy system is 155% higher than that of the hybrid (hydrogen + battery) alternative.
The study suggests combining a hydrogen energy storage system with solar, wind, and hydrogen energy to lessen these problems. The objectives of this integration are to increase the use of renewable energy, encourage its consumption, and lower the rates at which solar and wind energy are being curtailed.
They are, in fact, null for the hydrogen storage but not negligible for the battery solution, especially when dealing with high-capacity storage systems. However, as shown in the HYB scenario, batteries are effective and still needed - due to their high efficiency and fast response - to support the RES-based energy system in daily operation. 4.
