Pumped Hydro Energy Storage
Sector: Water Supply and Storage • Location: Klamath Falls, Oregon, United States
Source: The Business Journals
A study by NREL indicates that closed-loop pumped storage hydropower systems have lower lifetime greenhouse gas emissions compared to other energy storage technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries. This technology involves moving water to an upper reservoir when energy is plentiful and releasing it through turbines when energy is needed.
