Why energy storage?

ECO STOR is at the forefront of the revolution taking place at the crossroads between the transportation revolution and the change toward renewable energy systems. Utilizing both first- and second-life batteries, energy security and control with consumption become a reality.

A carbon-neutral future

The energy systems of the world have to turn from fossil-based to renewable, clean sources if the world is to reach the goal of zero carbon emission by 2050.

The only way to reach this goal is to turn away from fossil-based fuels and the combustion engine, towards clean energy systems and storage of renewable energy.

Renewable energy systems

Energy systems have been fossil based until recent years. A change is happening, as more and more renewable energy is being harvested. But renewable energy comes from unstable sources - the wind does not always blow, and the sun does not always shine, making energy storage a necessity both for securing supply and for stabilizing the grid.

The EV revolution

The energy transformation comes at the same time as the revolution within transportation, utilizing lithium batteries to run vehicles instead of combustion engines.

ECO STOR sees this as a great opportunity, as EV batteries have more than 80% capacity left when no longer feasible for EVs, making them perfect for a second life as storage units.

An ecosystem for batteries

ECO STOR is at the forefront of the two coinciding trends, creating an ecosystem for batteries, from utilizing first- and second-life batteries for energy storage, through recycling and reusing the minerals of the batteries, creating a circular economy for batteries and facilitating a cleaner tomorrow.

Front of the meter

«Front of the meter» refers to the battery management system being in direct contact with the grid, with the purpose of supplying energy to the grid at short notice when there are drops in the grid frequency (FFR-services). 

As more and more renewable energy in the form of wind and solar power is being fed into the grid, this is becoming ever more important.

Behind the meter

«Behind the meter» refers to the battery management system being placed behind the meter of the consumer, whether it be that of a commercial building or a private person. 

The purpose of a battery energy storing system behind the meter is to optimize the consumer's use of energy, whether it be from the grid or from the self-production of renewable energy from solar panels.
