Dr. Roy Michael Harrison (OBE FRS FRSC FRMetS) is a British professor who is a Distinguished Adjunct Professor at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and the Queen Elizabeth II Birmingham Centenary Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

Harrison attended Henley Grammar School and the University of Birmingham, earning a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 1969, a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 1972, and a Doctor of Science in Environmental Chemistry in 1989. His doctoral study focused on tropolone ether sigmatropic processes.

Harrison's work has been recognised by the Royal Society of Chemistry's John Jeyes Medal and Environment Prize, as well as the Royal Meteorological Society's Fitzroy Prize. He has chaired and/or served on advisory panels for the Department of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Department of Health for many years.

Energy Storage Options and Their Environmental Impact, (PDF) brings together authors from a variety of different backgrounds to study the state-of-the-art of large-scale energy storage and study the environmental impacts of the key categories based on the types of energy stored. Though, as with all new technology, it is important to consider the environmental effects as well as the benefits.

Current decades have seen a huge growth in the renewable energy sector, encouraged by concerns about climate change and decreasing supplies of fossil fuels. One of the major difficulties raised by a growing reliance on renewable resources is the rigidity when it comes to managing supply in response to demand. For instance, solar energy can only be produced during the day.  Thus, the development of methods for storing the energy produced by renewable sources is crucial to the continued stability of global energy supplies.

A helpful resource, not just for those working and researching in the renewable energy sector, but also for policymakers around the world.
