Existing and new options
If we want to achieve the energy targets for 2050, we all must use a lot more renewable energy. The BATSTORM project (Battery-based energy storage roadmap) identifies existing and future possibilities of batteries and develops roadmaps and implementation plans. Based on this, European policy can develop a well-founded strategy. BATSTORM is not a pure research project but focuses on practical questions. Which technologies are already being used? Which services can provide electricity storage? What does this mean for European industry? What barriers are there and what should we use to accelerate positive evolutions? The long-term and short-term plans developed have been made available to the European Commission.
