TSEP#165 The Role of LDES in Ensuring a Renewable Energy Supply 24/7

Renewable energy is booming worldwide, but how can we further
turbocharge the development and create a fully decarbonized,
secure and reliable energy system? In this episode, we delve into
the role of long duration energy storage (LDES) in ensuring a
renewable energy supply 24/7. We will define, where LDES
positions itself between short terms storage and hydrogen and of
course, we will dive into the latest developments and market
potentials about flow batteries. Tune in for an enlightening
conversation with our expertes Julia Souder, CEO of LDES Council
and Alan Greenshields, Director EMEA at ESS Inc.
