Demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is rapidly increasing and, according to the European Green Vehicle Initiative Association (EGVIA), a significant increase of acceptance of EVs can come only via further and significant cost reductions and elimination/limitations of …

Sustainable batteries with ultra-high performance and smart functionalities will play a critical role in powering Europe's transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies. Conventional lithium-ion batteries utilise a liquid electrolyte. Solid-state lithium-ion batteries …

Nowadays, the most common battery is the wet lithium ion battery which contains a liquid electrolyte. It is typically used for portable electronics, as well as home batteries and electric cars to store renewable energy locally. These wet batteries have gone through quite an …

The European project NAIMA aims to develop a new generation of high-competitive and safe Na-Ion cells for the current and future energy storage technologies, supported by the key actors of the European Battery value chain.

Unlocking flexibility for demand response

The energy transition will take place in cities. ACCESS empowers cities to coordinate local stakeholders for supporting and investing in the transition of Europe’s energy system. With support from:

The GEOTeCH project develops an innovative drilling concept that is based on dry auger methods, an innovative ground heat exchanger, based on co-axial configuration and spiral fluid flow pathways, allowing to achieve high levels of thermal performance with low pressure loss …

Advancements in digital technology, communication and standards have now made a digital substation possible. Though even with the clear advantages to digital substation, adaptation has been slow. This results in a lack of confidence by users of the need for digital …

In future energy systems the role of digitalization will play a major role and will make energy systems smarter, more efficient, reliable and able to make use of more renewable energy. DHC plants and networks will be fully optimized from production to the end consumers …

Thermal networks of the 4th generation form an important part of EnergyVille's thermal research. Thermal networks of the 4th generation are low temperature networks balancing heat/cold production with local demand. These thermal networks will have an important impact on …

Heating and cooling account for 50% of the EU’s total energy consumption, but at present only 19.1% of it is sourced from renewables, while in 5 countries out of 7 in North-West Europe the same ratio is below 8.2%. This makes heating & cooling an obvious target sector for …

The objective of the GEOENVI project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, is to tackle environmental concerns about deep geothermal energy and work towards harmonized environmental regulations. Environmental risks and impacts will …
