The CSIRO says it wants to kickstart a “revolution” in battery storage technologies that it says could be key to identifying new innovations that could support renewable energy to replace fossil fuels.
The CSIRO announced on Friday that $50 million in funding would be shared across four new Future Science Platforms, that includes energy storage and the goal to deliver EV battery charging as fast as fossil fuels, and long duration storage than can “mimic” pumped hydro.
The new ‘Revolutionary Energy Storage Systems’ research platform will focus on the development of new energy storage technologies that can boost the uptake of renewable energy technologies.
The interim director of the research platform, Dr Adam Best said the emergence of new energy storage technologies could help increase the share of renewables in the grid, as well as improving the performance of…
