How will battery storage impact the European tank storage sector?

The future development of battery storage in both the transport and electricity sectors holds important implications for the European tank storage sector. As of 2020, there is little battery capacity for grid electricity storage deployed, standing at 17 GW globally.

Why is tank storage important in Europe?

Europe’s trading position in oil and natural gas is slowly declining in importance. An increasing amount of oil products, natural gas and chemical products consumed in Europe will be fulfilled through imports, making tank storage key in ensuring domestic security of supply.

Which country has the largest hydro storage capacity in Europe?

Because of water resources availability and tailored energy policies, Germany, Italy, and Spain accounted for the largest pumped hydro storage capacity in the region, ranging between over nine gigawatts in Germany and 5.6 gigawatts in Spain in 2023.

Who are the authors of European tank storage?

Van den Beukel, Jilles, Lucia Van Geuns, Irina Patrahau, and Michel Rademaker. “The European Tank Storage Sector and the Global Energy Landscape.”

What percentage of Europe's energy storage capacity is pumped hydro?

However, despite an exponential growth in Europe’s battery energy storage capacity, which reached 36 gigawatt-hours in 2023, pumped hydro still accounted for 90 percent of the electricity storage capacity in the European Union that year.

Which energy storage technology is the most popular in Europe?

Pumped hydro is the most widely used technology for energy storage in Europe and worldwide, but batteries and hydrogen have come into the spotlight over the last decade as a recent trend in the energy storage market.
