The World Energy Storage 2023 Programme
Session 1 – Storage Policy & Regulation
- Energy storage as a means of providing energy security - updates on REPowerEU and other policies and initiatives.
- Are energy storage targets being met?
- What are the best regulatory frameworks for the implementation of energy storage projects?
- Grid costs for energy storage systems.
- Estimates on future storage availability and requirements globally.
Session 2 – Ensuring Flexibility through LDES
- Which LDES tech is the best solution? - Pumped vs kinetic vs thermal vs hydrogen.
- As BESS duration increases, will new LDES technologies be able to compete with lithium-ion?
- How can traditional battery storage and new storage technologies work together to meet requirements?
- Energy storage in the Netherlands - Solar and Wind parks – energy storage providing flexibility to renewables and avoiding curtailment.
- What measures need to be put in place to drive investment in LDES technologies and reduce clean energy costs for consumers?
- Deploying storage technologies at large scale - what are the next steps?
Session 3 – Hydrogen Storage & Transport
- Hard to abate industries - how much will be hydrogen? How much will be electrified?
- What are the best hydrogen storage options? - Salt caverns, depleted oil & gas fields, engineered cavities.
- Electrolysers as a means of balancing the grid
- Hydrogen and green chemicals as vectors to transport green energy:
- Ammonia
- Liquid hydrogen
- LOHCs
- SAF, methanol, methane
- Is there a ‘best’ hydrogen vector? Do we need to settle on one or is there scope in a net zero world for each of them to achieve economies of scale?
Session 4 – Decarbonisation & Energy Security
- Updates on the market design consultation? How can the EU support a clean and affordable energy transition?
- Energy storage solutions that can help to provide energy security. What are the best options? How quickly can these be adopted?
- Rising energy prices and energy storage - what reforms are required to ensure households and businesses aren’t so exposed to energy price spikes?
Session 1 – Policy & Mobility
- Updates on the phase out of ICEs - are we on target? What is required to ensure that targets are met?
- Policy support – updates on RED II. Are we on course to reach 2030 targets?
- Financial incentives and EU subsidies for switching to EVs/H2 fuel cells.
- The rise of the gigafactory - attracting FDI. Is Europe on the road to an increased share of these facilities?
Session 2 – Infrastructure – Hydrogen Refuelling Network & EV Charging Infrastructure
- Current status of EU hydrogen refuelling network.
- Cross sector collaboration to develop a hydrogen mobility ecosystem.
- What can public and private sectors do to cut/offset the increased rapid charging costs caused by higher electricity costs?
- Fast charging and infrastructure developments.
- Building effective infrastructure to support charging needs.
Session 3 – H2 & Electric Batteries for Mobility
- Viable applications for hydrogen – long haul/maritime/aviation.
- Flow battery vs lithium ion vs hydrogen fuel cell.
- How can hydrogen and electric batteries work together to decarbonise the transport sector?
- What is the projected H2 fuel cell demand vs EV demand?
- Are raw material supplies going to be able to keep up with demand?
- Green hydrogen for the transport sector.
Session 4 – Battery Safety, Sustainability and Recycling
- Innovation and the next generation batteries.
- What are the latest improvements in battery safety?
- What needs to happen to build an effective recycling infrastructure?
- How much of the industry's material needs can be met through material recycling?
- Are raw material supplies going to be able to keep up with demand?
