Abstract

The development of energy storage technologies creates opportunities for clean energy transitions in the transportation and electricity sectors. These technologies receive public and private support, yet their effective deployment faces various challenges that can potentially hinder climate goals, particularly in the electricity sector. We examine economic and technical challenges within a well-known induced innovation model where we introduce a new energy storage subsidy. At current levels of substitution between clean and conventional technologies, our results highlight the importance of temporarily subsidizing storage technologies to ease the substitution between clean and conventional technologies. Our discussion aims at improving the understanding of energy storage deployment that has the potential to accelerate clean energy transitions.

期刊介绍： Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques. Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.
