Large-scale electricity storage | Royal Society
Electricity can be stored in a variety of ways, including in batteries, by compressing air, by making hydrogen using electrolysers, or as heat. Storing hydrogen in solution-mined salt caverns will be the best way to meet the long-term storage need as it has the lowest cost per unit of energy storage capacity. Great Britain has ample geological

Fossil | Department of Energy
Fossil fuels -- including coal, oil and natural gas -- are drilled or mined before being burned to produce electricity, or refined for use as fuel. Fossil energy sources, including oil, coal and natural gas, are non-renewable resources that formed when prehistoric plants and animals died and were gradually buried by layers of rock.
CO2 Emissions in 2022 – Analysis
Global energy-related CO2 emissions grew by 0.9% or 321 Mt in 2022, reaching a new high of over 36.8 Gt. Following two years of exceptional oscillations in energy use and emissions, caused in part by the Covid-19 pandemic, last year''s growth was much slower than 2021''s rebound of more than 6%.

Energy Storage: Excess Electricity from Solar and Wind Must Be
There is very little electricity stored now because with fossils there has been no need for it. The coal and natural gas that generate two-thirds of electricity and nuclear uranium that generates 20% of power are the energy storage, and have provided many decades of energy storage so far. Wind and solar electricity are intermittent.
2021 – Understanding the current energy situation in Japan (Part 1)
Due to the scarcity of energy resources in Japan, electric power rates are largely influenced by imported fuel oil prices. In fact, the rates have been linked to the prices of fuels such as crude oil and LNG. Fuel oil prices were relatively stable for several years, but increased in 2020 and 2021, which impacted the current power rates.
From fossil fuels to renewables: The role of electricity storage
Hence, electricity storage not only benefits renewables by mitigating the intermittency problem, but also encourages the development of more efficient fossil-fuel technologies and affects the energy mix in conventional technologies. Therefore, electricity storage can enable full exploitation of the energy potential in intermittent renewables
