Presentation

Energy efficient usage is the key issue for the challenging decarbonizing goals in the following 20 years. Renewable energy technologies are intensive in materials, meaning that a lot of research and innovation is needed to achieve sustainable solutions to the energy transition. The importance of development of innovative energy materials and processes is well recognized for efficient energy systems. Moreover, energy storage is a key enabling technology in order to the industry to meet these ambitious goals.
