Battery energy storage plays a crucial role in the energy transition. It is a critical technology for integrating renewable energy, stabilizing the grid, managing peak loads, supporting electrification of transportation and other energy-intensive sectors, and promoting the development of distributed energy systems.
Programme duration: 4 years | 2024 - 2027
Battery energy storage plays a vital role in achieving a cleaner, more sustainable, and resilient future energy system. Multidisciplinary research into all stages of the battery life-cycle – from raw materials to recycling – will reveal an integrated approach to create next-generation battery systems.
Strategic program Battery integration addresses four crucial aspects:
Innovative battery designs
Intelligent application and systems
Life cycle analysis, second life and recycling
Battery materials and design
