What is Danish Center for energy storage?

Danish Center for Energy Storage, DaCES, is a partnership that covers the entire value chain from research and innovation to industry and export in the field of energy storage and conversion. The ambition of DaCES is to strengthen cooperation, sharing of knowledge and establishment of new partnerships between companies and universities.

Are lithium ion batteries a viable energy storage solution?

Batteries, in particular lithium ion batteries, are among the most well-known and economically feasible technologies for energy storage. As of today it is the only realistic solution for batteries in electric cars, mobile phones and similar mobile devices. But there is a downside.

How can Denmark develop a new energy technology?

If Denmark shall succeed in the development and implementation of new energy technologies such as energy storage and conversion, a broad knowledge of political and legal frameworks, economic models, the role of civil society as well as new forms of organization and collaboration across sectors and disciplines is necessary.

Could lithium-air technology help phasing out fossil fuels?

In addition, if one takes into account that the energy loss in electric motors is considerably less than in internal combustion engines, and that the charging time can be a fraction of existing lithium-ion batteries, then lithium-air technology can pave the way for a complete phasing out of fossil fuels in all sectors.
