Conclusion
Lithium-ion batteries have been a central focus of battery development in the UK because of their uses in the automotive sector, but alternative chemistries such as flow batteries or iron-air batteries will be more suitable for medium-duration grid-scale storage across multiple days. The UK has some pilot projects for flow batteries which could be expanded.
