Why is the centre for Energy Materials Research important?

Professor Paul Monks, Chief Scientific Adviser for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, said: ‘The Centre for Energy Materials Research houses state-of-the facilities which will play an important role in thedevelopment of next generation energy storage materials.

Why are new energy storage technologies important?

New energy storage technologies are fundamental for more balanced and flexible grids, for back-up to intermittent renewable energy and helping to tackle seasonal energy storage challenges.

How will new energy storage technologies impact the European Green Deal?

EXCELLENT SCIENCE - Research Infrastructures Main Programme According to the European Green Deal goals, new energy storage technologies will supply more flexibility and balance in the grid, providing a back-up to intermittent renewable energy and contribute to seasonal energy storage challenges.

What is the energy materials centre?

The Centre is the culmination of a vision Sir Peter Bruce, Wolfson Professor of Materials, had several years ago to founda physical space dedicated to energy materials research by bringing together investment by the University, the Faraday Institution, and the Sir Henry Royce Institute.

What is the future of energy storage?

Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.

What did OE announce at the energy storage Grand Challenge summit?

OE made these announcements at its 4th Annual Energy Storage Grand Challenge Summit bringing together stakeholders who will shape the future of the electricity infrastructure through next-generation energy storage solutions.
