As the most prominent combinations of energy storage systems in the evaluated vehicles are batteries, capacitors, and fuel cells, these technologies are investigated in more detail, regarding technology and environmental impacts and to find positive or negative aspects for further improvements.
The energy storage mechanism in EDLCs relies on the formation of an electrochemical Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) play a vital role in evaluating the comprehensive environmental impact of supercapacitors from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. One of the primary obstacles is the public perception and acceptance of new
The paper reviewed the advancements in energy storage technologies for the development of a smart grid (SG). social demission such as job creation and social acceptance were also presented in
The widespread use of sustainable energy technologies is a key element in the transformation of the energy system from fossil-based to zero-carbon. In line with this, technology acceptance is of great importance as resistance from the public can slow down or hinder the construction of energy technology projects. The current study assesses the social acceptance
To address the lack of social science research on social acceptance of energy storage to date, we propose that research should adopt an 28 Energy Policy 107 (2017) 27–31 P. Devine-Wright et al. Faur, 2005) should be assessed through assessment of policy implementation schemes, including the role of guidance and economic support directed towards this level (Pierre and Porter, 2005).

Given the increased awareness of climate change, the environmental impacts of energy storage technologies need to be evaluated. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is the tool most widely used to evaluate the environmental sustainability of a product system. In this chapter, the procedure for conducting an LCA is described, and the literature related
Battery storage is defined as an energy storage technology that uses chemicals to absorb and release energy on demand (Australian Renewable Energy Agency [ARENA], 2022).This study examines the impact of social–psychological, behavioural and demographic factors on the market acceptance of residential battery storage.
We argue that policy makers will need to anticipate societal concerns and conditions, in particular as they relate to the health and environmental impacts of novel
Considering environmental impacts of energy storage technologies: A life cycle assessment of power-to-gas business models The understanding and awareness regarding potential environmental impacts of new energy technologies and comparisons with alternatives are essential to guarantee the societal acceptance and thus the "break-through
Various published studies have discussed the environmental impacts of energy storage systems. While fewer studies addressed the issues of disposal and recycling of ESS wastes. Due to the difference in construction and principle of operation of each ESS, their impacts on the environment vary. For example, coal has a negative environmental impact
Note: The impact score or impact index shown here is equivalent to the average number of times documents published in a journal/conference in the past two years have been cited in the current year (i.e., Cites / Doc.
