Elestor’s flow battery electricity storage: The shape of things to come
Dutch electricity storage company Elestor is reshaping the world of batteries in ways that promise to transform the entire energy system. “The energy transition will depend entirely on large-scale and low-cost electricity storage. Without it, it will be impossible to fully decarbonise the energy system, as we would then need to carry on burning fossil fuels when the weather is calm and it is cloudy or dark,” observed Guido Dalessi, CEO of Elestor. Large-scale electricity storage will [...]
