DaCES and the DaCES working group for thermal energy storage has prepared input to this report “Thermal Energy Storage, Electrification with Flexibility 2025”. The report introduces some of the drivers and necessary focus areas for accelerating the development and uptake
of thermal energy storage in the large transition of our energy system. We wish to increase understanding and awareness of the large potentials in thermal energy storage among decision-makers, institutions and other central actors in the broad energy sector
On DaCES’ anniversary on 14 September 2023, we published our first report on energy storage in Denmark under the title: “Status, strengths and synergies – DaCES report on energy storage in Denmark 2023.” The report presents a mapping of the potential for and cases from a number of energy storage technologies: thermal energy storage, batteries, Power-to-X and system integration in an energy system based on renewable energy. In addition, we present 17 recommendations for how Denmark can strengthen its position as a green pioneering country in energy storage technologies, system integration and research for the benefit of Denmark and the green transition.
Rechargeable batteries cannot be avoided if Denmark is to reach its goals with the green transition. Therefore, there is a need for an increased political focus on batteries and a national battery strategy in line with our neighboring countries, so that we do not miss out on innovation, jobs and investments in the Danish battery sector. This is the message from DaCES and key Danish battery actors in a policy brief, which was published on the 23rd of August 2023.
