From a techno-economic perspective, the production of hydrogen or its derivatives using renewable electricity, followed by storage and reconversion to electricity, currently appears most promising for enabling long-duration energy storage.
“From a techno-economic perspective, the production of hydrogen or its derivatives using renewable electricity, followed by storage and reconversion to electricity, currently appears most promising for enabling long-duration energy storage36,41–43.”
From Long-duration electricity storage needs for coping with Dunkelflaute events in Europe (2026) · cites this paper as [42]
The Conclusions report that hydrogen storage is preferred over batteries for smoothing multi-day wind fluctuations in the modelled European power system, and the Electric batteries section describes reconverting stored hydrogen to electricity with fuel cells. But the paper does not establish that hydrogen or its derivatives are the most promising long-duration option generally: its Other storage technologies section says several alternatives were excluded, including synthetic methane.

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.
