Can battery energy storage solve Europe's energy challenges?

In order to deploy renewables and to release their potential for ensuring a stable and secure energy supply, Europe needs to work to overcome the intrinsic limits of renewables. One solution to these challenges is Battery Energy Storage.

Should battery energy storage be regulated in the EU?

The EU’s legislative and regulatory framework should guarantee a fair and technology-neutral competition between battery technologies. Several mature technologies are available today for Battery Energy Storage, but all technologies have considerable development potential.

What is the European Battery Alliance?

The European Battery Alliance, launched by the Commission in 2017, aims to build an innovative, sustainable and globally competitive battery value chain in Europe. Its goal is to ensure the supply of batteries needed for decarbonising the transport and energy sectors.

What are the benefits of battery energy storage in Europe?

Increasing the use of renewables in the energy mix allows energy imports to be reduced, with clear benefits for Europe’s energy independence and security. The decarbonisation of the energy mix and reductions in overall CO2 emissions are other clear, positive outcomes of an increased use of Battery Energy Storage in Europe.

What is batteries Europe?

Batteries Europe, launched in 2019, is the technology and innovation platform of the European Battery Alliance, run jointly by the Commission and stakeholders in the battery industry.

What is Europe on the move on batteries?

In May 2018, as part of the third 'Europe on the move' mobility package, it adopted a dedicated strategic action plan on batteries, with a range of measures covering raw materials extraction, sourcing and processing, battery materials, cell production, battery systems, reuse and recycling.
