The new Batteries Regulation will be a driver of change in the European Union how the energy storage system industry thinks about procurement and managing batteries at the end of

Finding the most cost-efficient and resilient ways of storage is crucial to driving the development of clean energy projects and affordable carbon-neutral electricity supply. In this Business Insights article, Rajiv

Energy Storage. The Office of Electricity''s (OE) Energy Storage Division accelerates bi-directional electrical energy storage technologies as a key component of the future-ready grid. The Division supports applied materials development to identify safe, low-cost, and earth-abundant elements that enable cost-effective long-duration storage.

Contrary to an earlier leaked draft document, the final version explicitly mentions energy storage as an included clean technology. Together with the European Commission''s

Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), South Africa • European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) • European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) • Energy Storage Applications Branch (ESA) of China Industrial Association of Power Sources • Faraday Institution, U.K. • Fraunhofer ISI •

For decades, energy storage has been viewed as one of the major solutions for meeting growing global power consumption and subsequent security concerns. However, despite many years of investment, its potential has not yet been fully realised. Although the technology has evolved rapidly and the benefits of energy storage are widely accepted,

The European Commission has targeted a 90% share of EU electricity from renewables by 2040 – mostly solar and wind – and complemented by nuclear energy, according to a leaked draft first obtained by French media Contexte. The EU is targeting 90% renewable electricity by 2040 and sees energy storage as key to getting there, a

According to the new figures, limiting the worldwide temperature rise to 2 C would demand boosting the global production of minerals key to energy storage – graphite, lithium and cobalt – by 450% by 2050, compared to 2018 levels. Read the full version of this.

Energy storage is the capturing and holding of energy in reserve for later use.
