Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!

Battery
Pros:
- density
Cons:
- price
- degradation
Outlook: going to become cheaper
Gravity Battery
Pros:
- price per MWh stored
- longevity
Cons:
- density
Types:
- Pumped storage hydroelectricity
- Solid mass:
- above ground
- crane
- Energy Vault - 20 MWh capacity, using cranes
- up/down hill railway
- crane
- underground
- Gravitricity - using deep mines. Best for shafts >300m deep. Cost: 171 USD per MWh (less than 1/2 of the cost of Li-ion battery)[1]
- above ground
Outlook: cost breakthrough is expected
Long-term storage (better scalability)
Power-to-gas
PEM - older technology, expensive
Alcaline - cheaper, more durable, more pure output gases (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_water_electrolysis)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-gas
Salt battery
