Energy storage is paramount in electric and hybrid vehicles, in green but intermittent energy sources, and in smart grids.
“Energy storage is paramount in electric and hybrid vehicles, in green but intermittent energy sources, and in smart grids in general.”
From Lithium recovery from brines: A vital raw material for green energies with a potential environmental impact in its mining and processing (2018) · cites this paper as Brouwer et al., 2016
The Introduction says intermittent renewables increase the need for power-system flexibility, and Appendix G.3 discusses storage capacity alongside wind, solar, and electric vehicles. But the Conclusion finds that electricity storage increased system costs in the systems studied; the paper does not establish that storage is paramount for electric or hybrid vehicles, intermittent renewables, or smart grids generally.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
