Visionary Seminar: A Supercharged Future

You may have noticed the high energy prices. What if there were innovative technologies that could help alleviate that bitter pill? Perhaps the solution lies in energy storage in all its forms? There are many solutions to the energy challenges of the future… We just need to be willing to implement them together. After all the pros and cons have been weighed up against each other, of course.

How can storage enable the energy transition?

Besides sketching what is the technological roadmap (don’t be scared to look sufficiently far and to have a “bold” vision) for the development of these different forms of storage, it is important to provide a picture what is the role to be played by the form of storage you are dealing with in the Energy Transition and to sketch the opportunities at several aggregation levels.

This could also mean that all the messages are not necessarily convergent but this is not a major issue as it could be the start of an interesting discussion after the presentations.
