– flow batteries for a fossil fuel-free future
Electrification, renewable energy sources and innovation are set to help the world on its way to achieving its climate and carbon neutrality targets by the 2050s. Denmark is on track to have fully renewable electricity supply by 2030. However, as yet there is no answer to this question: how can a stable electricity supply be guaranteed with no fossil-fuel baseload? Read more, download the EU-China Energy Magazine »
Hydrogen-iron flow battery could deliver 25-year grid energy storage with 80% efficiency
Article on Interesting Engineering: A Dutch battery manufacturer has developed a revolutionary hydrogen-iron flow battery that could reportedly power grids for decades while maintaining stable efficiency across tens of thousands of charge-discharge cycles.

Article and interview in Solar365 magazine: Elestor to build largest hydrogen battery ever
For the energy transition to succeed, sufficient renewable generation is required, but also the ability to store that energy for longer periods. Technologies capable of storing energy between eight and one hundred hours can play a crucial role. A broad consortium has received €22 million in funding from the Dutch National Growth Fund for the so-called SLDBatt project (Sustainable Long Duration Battery), which focuses on long-duration electricity storage.
