Virtual special issue on business and finance in energy storage and saving

Introduction:

Renewable energy investments play a very important role in reducing carbon emissions, along with our reliance on traditional energy sources. As a result, countries are increasing their focus on this area. However, renewable energy investments also have some disadvantages. For example, project costs are quite high compared to fossil fuel projects, a factor that can make investors think twice. In addition, renewable energy projects can be adversely affected by climatic conditions; for example, solar panels are dependent on sunlight.  As a result, the ability to store any excess renewable energy generated is crucial, although it comes with extra costs.  In this context, studies to reduce the costs of energy storage in renewable energy projects are of vital importance.
