The aims are to develop and demonstrate integrated and flexible solutions to address key technological challenges, to accelerate the IC decarbonisation and to facilitate the ICs to support wider energy network decarbonisation. The specific academic objectives of the project are:
Our team has made many efforts to enhance the dissemination and knowledge exchange of our work. We have been working with IEA Tasks partners (Task 36 Carnot Batteries) and Supergen Energy Storage Network+ etc, meeting and collaborating with industrial partners across different Industrial Clusters (including Siemens Energy and Mettis aerospace etc.), and attending international workshops and conferences (including 3rd International Workshop on Carnot Batteries and World Energy Storage Conference 2022 etc.) to promote our work supported by IDRIC. We also keep on disseminating our work on the Twitter (@BCES_UoB).
