EASE has submitted a technical contribution to the European Chemicals Agency’s Public Consultation on the Annex XV Restriction Report for PFAS. In January 2023, a group of EU member states collectively submitted a proposal for restrictions to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) concerning per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Thermal Energy Storage
EASE has prepared a paper that aims to shed light on the numerous benefits of thermal energy storage (TES) by providing an overview of technologies, inspiring projects, business cases, and revenue streams. Policy recommendations are also discussed.
With renewable energy projected to constitute 69% of the EU's electricity mix by 2030, TES emerges as a crucial solution to address energy demand, grid stability, and decarbonization challenges. As Europe steers towards a carbon-neutral future, TES is positioned to bridge the gap between the current energy landscape and the renewable energy targets set for 2030 and 2050.
TES technologies are set to play an integral role in Europe's transition to renewable energy dominance, offering longer-duration storage solutions and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. As the EU pursues climate neutrality and energy security, TES deserves greater recognition and integration into energy policy to support the EU long-term energy goals.

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.
