Molecule Storage Working Group

The transition to renewable energy requires significant changes in both the supply and demand of renewable energy sources. For this reason, Energy Storage NL advocates the need for a level playing field for all forms of energy storage, regardless of their specific applications and storage duration. Molecular energy storage plays a crucial role in the future energy system for several reasons. Nevertheless, the role of sustainable molecules in the energy system is still in a development phase, as is their large-scale storage. As a result, the topic is sometimes not considered urgent, while urgent action is needed to meet the climate goals for both 2030 and 2050.

The molecular energy storage working group has the potential to contribute significantly to market development and increase awareness of molecular energy storage. This is enhanced by the high-quality network of companies and knowledge institutions engaged in this field. It already provides an opportunity to set targets for long-term molecular energy storage, which in the long term will facilitate the transition to renewable energy.
