Talk of session: How to Decarbonize Off-Grid Systems with the Help of Energy Storage

Off-grid systems in the Amazon region and other remote locations represent less than 1% of domestic electricity consumption, however, more than 80% of that electricity is generated from fossil fuels. This session will focus on the role of energy storage as an enabler of decarbonizing off-grid energy generation, both in the Amazon region and other remote locations.
