Fossil fuels and energy storage systems are linked through the global energy transition, where energy storage is identified as a critical technology to replace or mitigate the reliance on fossil fuels as described in [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, they are compared in terms of operational costs and infrastructure requirements in [4], and carbon capture technologies are proposed to manage the continued use of fossil fuels alongside storage solutions in [5].

claimWhile the operational costs of renewable energy are lower over the long-term compared to fossil fuels, high upfront costs associated with infrastructure, equipment, and grid integration remain a key barrier to large-scale development and energy storage.
referenceKalair A, Abas N, Saleem MS, Kalair AR, Khan N. (2021) published 'Role of energy storage systems in energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables' in Energy Storage, discussing the necessity of energy storage in the transition to renewables.
claimThe global energy transition is defined as the shift from a fossil fuel-based energy system to one dominated by low-carbon, renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, hydropower, and developing hydrogen and energy storage technologies.
