A Dutch consortium, ranging from innovative start-ups to internationally operating energy companies, is developing a new type of long-term energy storage solution (LDES) that can store sustainable energy for 8 to 100 hours. Supported by more than €30 million in financing from the National Growth Fund and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RvO), the SLDBatt project is the largest R&D initiative in the Netherlands focused on battery technologies for the long-term storage of sustainably generated electricity.
The project aims to reduce the costs of storing renewable electricity and scale up technologies developed by Dutch start-ups – AQUABATTERY, Elestor and Exergy Storage – while involving nationally anchored industrial partners such as chemical company Nobian, internationally operating energy companies such as RWE, and three technical universities: Eindhoven University of Technology, Delft University of Technology, the University of Applied Sciences of Arnhem and Nijmegen and the University of Twente. Battery Competence Cluster NL (BCC-NL) coordinates the project and acts as a national catalyst for knowledge sharing, collaboration and acceleration in the battery value chain.
“The aim of this project is to develop and deploy TRL 7 battery technologies with the potential to achieve costs below €50/kWh, addressing challenges associated with grid congestion,” says Hylke van Bennekom, CEO of Elestor. ESS news.
