The EU is advancing several key projects and initiatives in the energy storage field to boost renewable energy integration, stabilize the grid, and support clean energy goals. These initiatives and projects highlight the EU's commitment to advancing energy storage technologies and integrating renewables into the energy grid.
Energy Storage Europe Association is actively shaping the legal and R&D funding framework for energy storage at EU level. Members gain direct influence in the European decision-making process. Members benefit from the Energy Storage Europe Association's expertise and technical know-how, and they can participate in EU-funded research projects.
EASE will now be known as the Energy Storage Europe association, with a new identity designed to give the sector a stronger visibility. This transformation marks a significant milestone as the association approaches its 15 th anniversary and reflects the central role that energy storage now plays in Europe's energy future.
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) offers potential, but faces challenges including poor efficiency and reliance on fossil fuels. In this context, the EU-funded Air4NRG project aims to improve long-term energy storage. Specifically, it targets over 70 % round-trip efficiency, sustainability, and integration with the grid.
This position paper, prepared by the Energy Storage Europe Association, assesses the system value of long-duration energy storage, identifies barriers to deployment, and proposes recommendations to
