Climate ministers have "agreed in principle" to raise the worldwide objective for power storage capacity to 1,500GW in 2030 from 230GW in 2022, according to a draft document seen by the Financial Times, before of the two-day meeting that begins on Sunday. In addition to batteries, it intends to use hydrogen and water as storage methods.
