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 [43]
The ‘Technologies to support high-variable renewable energy grids’ section describes renewable-powered electrolysis, hydrogen storage, and reconversion to electricity. The ‘Economic analysis of current and future technology costs’ section finds geologic hydrogen storage among the lowest-cost options for 120-hour storage under both current and future cost assumptions. It does not establish that hydrogen or its derivatives are the most promising option across long-duration storage generally: the finding is duration-specific, natural gas with carbon capture is also among the lowest-cost options, and the cited analysis concerns hydrogen rather than its derivatives.

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.
