The 2024 Croucher Advanced Study Institute (ASI) in electrochemical energy storage addresses the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions amid intense academic interest and growing industrial demand.
Energy storage is pivotal in reducing CO2 emissions by facilitating the wider use of renewable energy generation and electrifying the transportation sector, replacing fossil fuels.
This event bridges the gap between academia and industry, fostering a critical exchange of ideas and innovations to tackle the current challenges in energy storage efficiency, safety, and cost. By bringing together leading experts from both realms, this ASI aims to accelerate global progress towards a sustainable energy future.
