BVES attends the IEA High-Level Work­shop on the Bat­tery Spe­cial Report in Paris

The IEA is plan­ning to release a report on bat­te­ries, pro­vi­ding an over­view of the cur­rent bat­tery mar­ket, insights into medium- to long-term trends, and iden­ti­fy­ing areas that require policy atten­tion. The­r­e­fore, the IEA invi­ted minis­ters, indus­try lea­ders, inves­tors, inter­na­tio­nal orga­ni­sa­ti­ons, regu­la­tors and sci­en­tists to Paris to deve­lop stra­te­gic gui­de­lines for this ana­ly­sis and to address exis­ting chal­lenges.

The BVES main­ta­ins a long­stan­ding col­la­bo­ra­tion with the IEA and wel­co­mes the oppor­tu­nity to con­tri­bute, inclu­ding the invi­ta­tion to the work­shop with Exe­cu­tive Direc­tor Fatih Birol and Chief Energy Mode­ler Laura Cozzi, at the IEA head­quar­ters in Paris on the Bat­tery Spe­cial Report.

The main topics of the Bat­tery Spe­cial Report will include the fol­lo­wing:

• The eco­no­mic via­bi­lity of bat­tery sto­rage sys­tems
• The role of bat­te­ries in the tran­si­tion to clean energy, from elec­tric vehic­les to short-term energy sto­rage
• Cir­cu­lar bat­tery eco­nomy
• Stra­te­gies for buil­ding secure and sus­tainable sup­ply chains

The work­shop pro­vi­ded a plat­form for in-depth dis­cus­sions and the exch­ange of valuable insights into the latest deve­lo­p­ments in bat­tery tech­no­logy and energy sto­rage.

BVES is com­mit­ted to stay­ing at the fore­front of advance­ments in the energy sto­rage sec­tor. The task “Eco­no­mics of Energy Sto­rage,” led by BVES in the IEA Energy Sto­rage Tech­no­logy Col­la­bo­ra­tion Pro­gramme, has been working tog­e­ther with inter­na­tio­nal com­pa­nies and rese­arch insti­tu­ti­ons for nearly a year and a half to deve­lop gui­de­lines for asses­sing the eco­no­mics of energy sto­rage sys­tems. The results to date will be incor­po­ra­ted into the report in the most effi­ci­ent way pos­si­ble.
