Innovation in Energy Storage and Batteries
As climate impacts become more severe in the race to reach Net Zero by 2050, our energy systems will have to transition away from fossil energy to electrification using clean renewable energy and better design for stationary and mobile applications. This drives the necessity of upgrading the electric grid and creating resilient, distributed systems. Energy storage and batteries are key to the success of this transition.
Foresight Seminar VI will explore in-depth the technical challenges of energy storage to enable a Net Zero energy future. Learn about innovations that are emerging in energy storage that will allow renewable energy to power our buildings, communities, transportation systems and electrical infrastructure.
During this interactive event, you’ll learn:
● What are some leading energy storage and battery technology innovations
● Who is innovating in this area and how their technology works
● What are the opportunities and future visions for transforming how electricity is stored and dispatched to enable dynamic, distributed smart grids and transportation.
You will also have an opportunity to network in person to share your thoughts and experiences with peers and to speak in-depth with each of the panelists after the formal presentation, while enjoying refreshments.
Registration can be made on eventbrite. We hope to see you there!
