On 6 December 2023, the European Steel Technology Platform (ESTEP) and the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) gathered participants for a webinar "Energy Storage Innovations".
Webinar Speakers:
Carbon-Clean Technologies GmbH
Carbon-clean provides energy-intensive industries with on-demand, renewable process heat from our thermal storage. The system stores energy as high-temperature heat at 1,200 °C and is charged with renewable energy from locally sited renewables or via the grid. The system is discharged to provide a continuous stream of high-temperature process heat (hot air or steam) to industrial processes. Our modular energy storage achieves capacities of 100 MWh to 5 GWh and achieves energy efficiencies of 95 %. Contact: Robert Pfab, robert.pfab@carbonclean.de
UNDA Engineering
Unda Enginering Inc. was founded in 2016 with the aim of developing solutions for a sustainable industry. We developed a thermal battery under the Calor-e brand. The system can be used on the grid as a “demand shifting product” or off the grid with direct coupling with renewables such as solar and wind. The main highlights of the system are its modularity, fast response capabilities for charge and discharge, full recyclability and low environmental footprint and its compatibility with conventional heat transfer fluids. The system is designed as 1 MWe modular units that can be arranged for different user profiles with a versatile range of charge up to 0.5 MWe/h and discharge up to 1 MWe/h.

CLERENS
CLERENS is a leading public affairs and communications consultancy based in Brussels. CLERENS works with clients and the European Institutions to build a better a policy framework in a wide range of areas including energy, environment, and mobility. We offer a unique combination of technical expertise and coalition-building experience to transform innovative ideas into structured RD&I projects. CLERENS assists its clients in the end-to-end acquiring of EU Funds (from monitoring, concept assessment to proposal writing) such as Horizon Europe and Innovation Fund and CLERENS also provides services on the implementation of EU Projects.Contact: Martin Bracken, m.bracken@clerens.eu
EASE and LCP-Delta are pleased to announce the publication of the eighth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES). The Market Monitor is an interactive database that tracks over 3,000 energy storage projects. With information on assets in over 29 countries, it is the largest and most detailed archive of European storage. The database is accompanied by a report which outlines key EU legislation, drivers and barriers for 14 core countries, future projects and forecasts to 2030.
EASE has compiled analyses of measures for energy storage in the draft updated NECPs to point out their strengths and weaknesses, based upon the Commission’s Recommendations for Energy Storage.
In light of interconnected challenges, such as energy security, economic growth, consumer protection, and climate change, energy storage emerges as a crucial tool to address these issues. EASE 2024 manifesto outlines four key goals and corresponding actions that prioritise energy storage, positioning it at the forefront of Europe’s energy system.
EASE has published its 2023 Activity Report. In 2023, EASE embraced several opportunities, and sustained its position as the main European advocate for energy storage in the continent’s energy landscape.
