Islands face unique challenges in terms of ensuring a secure and cost-effective energy supply. On 21 November, over 80 participants met during the EASE Energy Storage on Islands Workshop to learn about the latest advances in energy storage technologies and propose policy recommendations to ensure a faster roll-out of innovative solutions to support the island decarbonisation agenda.

CoFBAT: Cobalt Free Solutions for Batteries
The CoFBAT project “Advanced Material Solutions for Safer and Long-lasting High Capacity Cobalt Free Batteries for Stationary Storage Applications” has kicked off on 12 November in Brussels, Belgium.
EASE is participating in the project that aims to develop novel solutions for battery storage with a modular technology, suitable for different applications fulfilling the increasing need of decentralised energy production and supply for private households and industrial robotised devices. CoFBAT will strengthen the EU competitiveness in advanced materials and the related battery value chain by developing a cobalt-free solution and safe polymer electrolytes.
The project seeks to involve stakeholders from the whole battery value chain: from materials to battery manufacturing, including electrochemical characterisation and life cycle assessment. CoFBAT is the result of a collaboration 19 partners from 9 different countries. EASE will be in charge of developing and carrying communication activities for this project, and is looking forward to work within this innovative initiative.
For more information, please contact the coordinator of the project Mr Carlos Concepcion.

On 27 May 2025, over 200 participants attended the webinar on the "EASE Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems". The Guidelines are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe.
Energy storage is a key enabler of the European Union’s decarbonisation and energy security objectives, yet current grid fee structures often act as barriers to its deployment. This position paper outlines critical challenges related to network tariffs and charges that create market distortions and discourage much-needed investments in flexibility.
