Welcome to the 31st edition of Energy Storage Journal, and the last for 2020.
It’s time to look ahead – which is exactly what the pumped storage hydropower industry is doing, with a host of initiatives and technologies planned to keep its place at the front of the sector. This includes a role for batteries for the first time, which you can read about in our cover story.
Few people know more about batteries than our Battery Hero this issue, Bob Galyen – who looks back on four decades in energy storage, including eight years with the Chinese giant CATL.
We also give you insight into the energy storage landscape in Europe, highlighting a couple of countries – Ireland and Finland – and we put zinc-ion batteries under the microscope. Could they be the next big thing after lithium-ion? Salient Energy thinks so.
And to all of our readers and advertisers, we’d like to take the opportunity to wish you the best Christmas possible, and here’s to the year ahead.
