What Comes After Lithium? The Future of Energy Storage

Are we on the brink of an energy revolution?

As the world races to adopt clean energy like solar and wind, we face a massive challenge: how do we keep the lights on when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing? The answer is energy storage, and it's about to change everything.

This video dives into the Energy Storage Outlook, a foundational report from the Interreg Danube Region's StoreMore project. We'll explore the monumental shift in our global energy landscape, moving away from fossil fuels and confronting the limits of our current go-to technology: the lithium-ion battery.

Join us as in our series of discussions where we uncover the next wave of groundbreaking energy storage solutions! We go beyond the headlines to analyze a wide range of innovative technologies, including:

  • Gravity Storage (GS): Using massive weights to store and release energy.

  • Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES): Storing energy by turning air into a liquid.

  • Flywheels (FES): High-speed rotors that store incredible power.

  • Hydrogen (H2): The versatile energy carrier for long-term storage. And many more!

We'll also introduce our unique "Will it Change Everything (WICE)" score , a custom-designed index that goes beyond technical specs to evaluate which of these technologies has the true potential to disrupt the market and lead us to a sustainable future.

From the European policy driving this change to the specific opportunities within the Danube Region, this is your ultimate guide to the technologies that will power tomorrow.

Don't miss out on this comprehensive look into the future of energy. Watch now to discover the innovations that will define the next decade!
