The energy transition will require a significant scale-up of storage capacity to help deal with both the increasing levels of variable clean energy generation and an ever-growing level of flexible demand.Balance these two moveable feasts will require agile and rapid response battery solutions as well as long-term, seasonal storage—a barrier that has yet to be fully overcome.In this episode of Energy Enablers, David is joined by Johan Söderbom, Thematic Leader Smartgrid and Storage at EIT InnoEnergy. They discuss how the rise of storage capacity will be made easier with other demand-side technologies helping to reduce demand.The Energy Enablers podcast, a regular series from FORESIGHT Climate & Energy, speaks to those who are making a difference in the race to a decarbonised economy.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Johan Söderbom: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johan-s%C3%B6derbom-a84b652a/David Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHT@EnergyEnablers: https://twitter.com/EnergyEnablersFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Energy Enablers wherever you get podcasts.
