POWTECH is getting off to a flying start. The Leading International Processing Trade Fair will take place in Nuremberg from 26 to 28 September 2023 – almost exactly a year after POWTECH 2022. Once again, more than 700 exhibitors from many countries will draw a large attendance of regional and international visitors. It is already clear that the official expansion of the themes at the event from just powder and bulk solids processing to include all fluid technologies has attracted new exhibitors.

Lack of Energy Storage makes Renewables-only Grids a Pipedream

Lack of Energy Storage makes Renewables-only Grids a Pipedream (credits: Global Warming Policy Foundation)

A new paper published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation warns that renewable energy policies being pursued around the world are unrealistic.

That’s because renewables-only grids require large amounts of electricity storage to make them viable. However, the world currently lacks any power storage technology that is both affordable and scalable.

As the paper’s author, Francis Menton explains: “The amount of storage required is very large – perhaps as much as two months’ of average demand. The cost then becomes absurd: you could spend all of your GDP on batteries every year, and it would still not be enough. Hydrogen is better, but is still astonishingly expensive, because it’s so inefficient”.

In one of Mr Menton’s estimates, the cost of providing lithium ion batteries for a grid could be more than ten times GDP. Moreover, because the batteries wear out, the expenditure would need to be repeated every few years.
Despite this, policymakers are ploughing ahead with deployment of wind and solar, hoping that scientists will come up with something to save the day.  

GWPF Director, Dr Benny Peiser said: “The skyrocketing prices in UK electricity markets in recent days are a warning. Without economic forms of electricity storage, a drive for renewables is going to end very badly for consumers.”
