ClimateHack Amsterdam: Batteries: the Challenge, Promise and Future of Energy Storage
You're invited to ClimateHack Amsterdam!
Energy storage sits at the heart of our renewable future and represents one of the most critical technological frontiers of our time. From electric vehicles to grid stabilization, sustainable homes to remote power access, batteries are the key enabler for a decarbonized world. But significant challenges remain in scaling production, improving performance, and reducing environmental impact. How can we accelerate innovation to unlock the full potential of energy storage technologies?
Join us as researchers, entrepreneurs and investors explore the rapidly evolving battery landscape, including:
Current bottlenecks in battery technology and the race to develop next-generation chemistries beyond lithium-ion
Approaches to scaling production while addressing critical mineral supply chains and sustainability concerns
Emerging technologies transforming energy storage: solid-state batteries, flow batteries, and alternative storage solutions
How smart battery management, recycling innovations, and circular economy principles are extending battery life and reducing waste
The crucial role of energy storage in enabling renewable energy integration and grid resilience
