N2 - On the path to a low-carbon future, advancements in energy storage seem to be achieved on a nearly daily basis. However, for the use-case of sustainable transportation, only a handful of technologies can be considered, as these technologies must be reliable, economical, and suitable for transportation applications. This paper describes the characteristics and aging process of two well-establishedandcommerciallyavailabletechnologies,namelyLithium-Ionbatteriesandsupercaps, andonelessknownsystem,flywheelenergystorage,inthecontextofpublictransitbuses.
