Energy storage is the first event in the Our Energy Future series. It will offer organisations a practical way to strengthen energy resilience and flexibility. Energy storage provides the ability to use energy in different ways and at different times, providing greater flexibility – for example, battery systems enabling off-peak use of electricity.
Spanning electrical, electrochemical, chemical, and mechanical technologies, it enables smarter use of energy, supports cost optimisation, and unlocks greater integration of sustainable energy sources.
We will hear from a range of speakers (soon to be announced) about how to take the next steps toward a more resilient and diversified approach to energy storage within your business. Expect insights that focus on what can be implemented now to improve reliability, long-term risk and create lasting value.
Topics to be covered by expert speakers:
- Thermal energy storage
- Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
- Thermo-chemical heat storage and upgrading
