What are the different types of energy storage technologies?

This report covers the following energy storage technologies: lithium-ion batteries, lead–acid batteries, pumped-storage hydropower, compressed-air energy storage, redox flow batteries, hydrogen, building thermal energy storage, and select long-duration energy storage technologies.

What are the different types of energy storage policy?

Approximately 16 states have adopted some form of energy storage policy, which broadly fall into the following categories: procurement targets, regulatory adaption, demonstration programs, financial incentives, and consumer protections. Below we give an overview of each of these energy storage policy categories.

What role do state-owned enterprises play in technological change?

Based on our findings, we discuss broader implications for the role of state-owned enterprises in technological change in the energy sector and beyond. 1. Introduction Technological change plays a central role in addressing pressing societal issues such as climate change (Jaffe et al., 2005; Markard et al., 2012).

Do utilities change between state-owned and privately-owned?

Only very few utilities changed between state-owned and privately-owned in our study period, 15 and in all cases investments either happened only before or only after the change, so these cases could be clearly categorized according to the ownership structure during the point in time when investments happened.
