Webinar | Ultracapacitors and the energy transition: unlocking new possibilities through innovation
Industry attention regarding storage technologies has been mainly focused on batteries and especially lithium-ion, but ultracapacitors can work alongside batteries and other energy storage devices – and in some cases replace them – and open up new energy storage applications.
A game-changing technology
In this upcoming webinar jointly organised with Energy-Storage.news, we will shed new light on the case for ultra-capacitors, the latest breakthroughs and the main segment areas – such as automotive, transportation, power generation and distribution, and industrial applications that include cranes, elevators, data centres or Internet of Things (IoT) devices – where they can play an essential or even game-changing role to help build a more efficient and sustainable future.
Hear from experts in the field
Johan Söderbom, Thematic Field Leader for Smart Grids & Energy Storage at EIT InnoEnergy will introduce the potential advantages of ultracapacitors and discuss how the remaining challenges could be overcome.
Johan will be joined by Thomas Houareau, Vice President of Consulting in Frost & Sullivan’s energy and sustainability practice, who will focus on the fundamental drivers for adopting ultracapacitors in key market segments.
Brief presentations will be followed by a roundtable discussion on the applications and potential of ultracapacitors: we will hear end-customer perspectives as well as from representatives of two innovative ultracapacitor makers. Egert Valmra, Programme Director at Skeleton Technologies and Ludovic Eveillard, General Manager and Founder at NAWA Technologies will join EIT InnoEnergy’s Johan Söderbom, along with Johan Hellsing, Senior Technical Specialist for Electric Propulsion Systems at passenger car development centre CEVT (China Euro Vehicle Technology AB).
We will also discuss scaling-up, cost reduction, learn about the challenges that still remain and find out how innovative companies are working to overcome them.
