To batteries and beyond: Lithium-ion dominates utility storage; could competing chemistries change that?

The industry is growing increasingly comfortable with lithium-ion, but its limitations open up a space for other technologies to compete in the storage mix.

At least 32 utilities are aiming to be carbon-free or achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This is the last of a four-part series exploring the storage technologies that could get them there. 

Back in 2012 and 2013, when Morten Lund, a partner at the law firm Stoel Rives, first began dropping in at energy storage technology conferences, he came across a wide variety of technologies on display
