According to BloombergNEF’s latest New Energy Outlook, global carbon emissions have risen steadily for decades, with only short-term dips during unusual events such as the 2009 financial crisis or the 2020 pandemic. However, 2024 is projected to mark the peak of global carbon emissions, and 2025 is expected to see the first structural global decline worldwide — a historic milestone for the planet.
While several developed economies have already experienced structural emission declines due to the rapid growth of clean energy, 2025 is set to be the first time this trend occurs globally. This shift highlights the accelerating role of renewable energy, particularly solar and wind, in transforming the world’s energy systems.
Why Energy Storage Matters
As renewable energy capacity grows, the role of energy storage systems becomes critical. Solar panels and wind turbines can generate large amounts of power when conditions are optimal, but without storage, much of this clean energy can go unused. Energy storage solves this challenge by:
- Storing excess energy for use when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing
- Balancing grid fluctuations, helping prevent outages and ensuring a stable power supply
- Reducing electricity costs and increasing energy independence for homes and businesses
In short, energy storage is the bridge that makes clean energy reliable, predictable, and cost-effective.
Applications for Homes and Businesses
For households, energy storage paired with rooftop solar systems can allow homeowners to store their own energy for evening use, reducing reliance on the grid and lowering utility bills. For businesses, commercial-scale storage solutions can manage peak energy demand, provide backup power, and contribute to sustainability goals.
At our UK-based company, we specialise in both home and commercial energy storage systems, helping clients make the most of their renewable energy investments. By turning solar power into usable energy around the clock, we make clean energy practical, not just aspirational.
The Opportunity Ahead
The global decline in emissions predicted for 2025 marks a turning point in the fight against climate change. Energy storage is not just a technological solution — it is a critical enabler of this transition. By adopting storage solutions now, homes and businesses can play a direct role in reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency, and preparing for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
