Renewable energy harnesses the power of wind and sunlight to generate electricity. But what happens when the wind isn't blowing, or the sun isn't shining? And how do we manage surplus electricity on days when we produce more than we need? How can we store this excess electricity for days when you have a shortage?
In this S4S café we will explore the challenges related to power generation and storage, and the different options to store this renewably generated energy, such as in the form of hydrogen or other carriers. We have contributions from the department of Sustainable Development, Earth Sciences and Chemistry, which should give us enough input for an interesting discussion! The afternoon will conclude with drinks.
