An interactive workshop organised by ECRs for ECRs to share Energy Storage research and frame key messages for COP26!

In the lead up to COP26, the Supergen Energy Storage Network+ will be involved in a range of engagement activities on the role of Energy Storage in achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in key applications.

Webinar topics focused on the role of energy storage research and innovation in achieving a net-zero future.
