In 2021, a record 290GW of renewable power was added to the power grids across the globe and 6.6 million electric vehicles were sold globally. As the push towards greener grids and cleaner transportation grows stronger, energy storage will be key in enabling sustainable energy transition as well as the transition toward electric mobility.
Recognizing the significance of energy storage technologies in the coming decades and to draw a roadmap for faster adoption in the future, Customized Energy Solutions (CES) and India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) are organizing the 6th edition of World Energy Storage Day (WESD) 2022 – a global conference and expo on September 22, 2022.
What to expect from WESD 2022?
WESD 2022 will bring together industry veterans, policymakers, scientists, and experts from across the seven continents on a single platform to deliberate on the policy landscape, R&D, roadmap, and outlook for the energy storage industry globally.
The 24-hour marathon event will be held virtually covering four global regions, encompassing Asia and Australia, South Asia and Russia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and North and South Americas.
The virtual session will include 16+ sessions on stationary energy storage, e-mobility and enabling infrastructure, green hydrogen, and manufacturing & innovation.
Like every year, the world energy storage day conference and expo will attract participation from 100+ CXOs and nearly 30+ countries. The intention of the deliberation is to facilitate bilateral trade, support market development, and promote new research and innovation in the industry.
Beyond the sessions, the highlight of WESD 2022 includes country roundtable, technology workshop, partner seminar, virtual tour, start-up pitch, product launch, networking lounge, and a virtual expo.
This year, the event will host 10 technical workshops covering a range of current topics such as energy storage project modeling, battery fire in EVs and ESS, long-duration storage, energy access, women in energy, recycling and circularity, urban air mobility, and more.
Like last year, WESD 2022 is hosting a Global Startup Showcase 2.0 and currently, applications are open for startups working in the area of energy storage technologies, e-mobility, RE integration, energy storage grid application, EV charging infra, EV components, BMS, EMS, PCS, power electronics, battery raw material and recycling, green hydrogen, microgrid, energy access and demand response and more.
The 10 shortlisted startups will get a chance to pitch at the WESD 2022 virtual conference and expo and get a free booth to showcase their technology or product at the virtual conference. Additionally, the startups will get a chance to be part of various startup accelerator programs and explore funding opportunities through CES and its partners.
