Industry leaders driving green energy and clean transportation commemorate World Energy Storage Day 2022PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The sixth annual World Energy Storage Day (WESD) was held virtually on September 22 and took place over the course of 24 hours around the globe. The virtual Conference and Expo, organized by Customized Energy Solutions (CES), aims to provide a productive environment for promoting energy storage and cutting-edge technology as we move toward a greener future. This year’s conference, which was supported by more than 30 global organizations, included panel discussions around stationary energy storage, e-mobility and enabling infrastructure, green hydrogen, and manufacturing and supply chain across four global regions: APAC, Indian Subcontinent, EMEA, and the Americas. Technology workshops, partner seminars, virtual tours, start-up pitches, and networking opportunities, were additional highlights of the program. This year’s workshops focused on topics like battery recycling, microgrids and social equity, workforce development and jobs in energy storage, long duration energy storage systems (ESS), ESS modelling and optimization, solar + storage, giga factory supply chain, urban air mobility, women in energy, and battery fire in EV and ESS. WESD was started in 2017 to recognize the importance of energy storage in reaching the global aim of a greener grid and cleaner transportation, and brings together industry stakeholders, CXOs, policymakers, thought leaders, think tanks, and global associations on a single platform every year. This year, more than 6,000 delegates were among the thousands of global participants from over 100 countries and 4,000 organizations. Throughout the conference, global thought leaders shared their perspective and insights: Ashish Kundra, Principal Secretary, Government of Delhi, said: “Our goal is to decarbonize the transport sector to the best of our capacity. With some substantial subsidiaries offered for EV buyers, Delhi has inspired customers to adopt electric vehicles for transportation. The State EV cell is also aiming for a disruptive approach.” Knut Linnerud, CEO, Greenstat Asia, expressed: "Penetration of Green Hydrogen is strategic for India to invest in developing its own parallel technologies and capabilities to production. A key challenge is balancing taxation and incentivization to promote best technologies that can help in quick commercialization and achieving mainstream in the energy system.” Young-Il Lee, Professor, Seoul National University of Science and Technology, said: “Substitutes for lithium-ion batteries are necessary to reduce reliance on li-ion batteries. VRFB is not suited for cars but is useful for operating energy storage systems. Different chemistries are a good thing for the supply chain as well as various applications. In Korea, flow batteries act as a support for EV Charging Infrastructure.” About World Energy Storage Day (WESD) About Customized Energy Solutions (CES) Media Contacts Christian Rizzo
