Globally, initiatives are being introduced to curb CO 2 emissions in an attempt to combat climate change spurred on by global warming. Accordingly, ''1.5 °C scenario'' which aims to reduce the carbon emissions by about 45 % from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching net zero around mid-century has been advocated.

In modern times, energy storage has become recognized as an essential part of the current energy supply chain. The primary rationales for this include the simple fact that it has the potential to improve grid stability, improve the adoption of renewable energy resources, enhance energy system productivity, reducing the use of fossil fuels, and decrease the environmental effect of
Global grid infrastructure and energy storage must step up to avoid delaying 2030 targets, a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) says. As the world targets to treble installed renewable energy capacity – to reach 11TW – by 2030, it makes investing and planning in grid development “even more urgent” said IRENA.

This announcement follows the £32.8 million funding awarded to 5 UK energy storage projects across the country in November 2022 to create first-of-a-kind prototypes of their technology. A total of £69 million of funding has been awarded so far through this programme, helping to drive innovative technologies such as energy storage.
The energy storage projects receiving funding today include: Sunamp's EXTEND project, East Lothian, Scotland – will receive £149,893 for a feasibility study to further develop the storage duration of their thermal batteries.
Accelerating the uptake of energy storage technology will also mean National Grid can balance the grid by activating storage systems instead of asking certain power generation technologies to switch off, further reducing costs to the taxpayer. Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero Graham Stuart said:
The funding announced today is a key step towards supporting the development and commercialisation of innovative energy storage technologies, in turn supporting the UK's transition to relying on renewables, while also encouraging private investment and new green jobs.
Funding for Phase 2 involves building and commissioning prototypes to demonstrate the technologies. Constraint payments remain the most efficient option for National Grid to keep Britain's lights on and are only used when there is excess supply.
The UK government has launched its consultation on its proposals for kickstarting investment into long-duration energy storage (LDES).
