Research by the International Energy Agency shows that to reach net zero emissions by 2050, annual clean energy investment worldwide will need to more than triple by 2030 to around $4 trillion. A large part of this investment will need to be directed at upskilling the workforce — and InnoEnergy Skills Institute is designed to do exactly that.

EIT InnoEnergy is happy to announce its investment in the French deeptech start-up Geolinks specialised in the detection of natural resources and underground energy storage. Geolinks has developed a patented geophysical subsurface monitoring technology to be applied in key areas of the energy transition. By generating dynamic imagery of the subsoil, Geolinks enables the detection and extraction of key battery raw materials like lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese or graphite, helps to identify and monitor underground energy storage facilities, e.g. for CO2 or hydrogen, and prevent risks associated with underground fluid movements. Karine Vernier, CEO of EIT InnoEnergy France commented: "Our investment in Geolinks and its cutting-edge technology perfectly complements our portfolio of sustainable energy start-ups and is in line with our recent announcement of the “EBA Strategic Battery Materials Fund”. This strategic investment also meets the objectives of the European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center (EGHAC), an initiative led by EIT InnoEnergy to build and structure the green hydrogen value chain in Europe. The Geolinks solution drastically reduces the cost and increases the time efficiency of projects involving natural hydrogen, CO2 storage, geothermal energy and the detection of materials for batteries. We are convinced that Geolinks has the potential to become a key player in underground energy management." https://bit.ly/3QGpPWf

Sara Hermansson, Thematic Project Investment Manager for Smart Grids & Energy Storage at EIT InnoEnergy, is the guest of the latest #Futurapodden by Stella Futura, a Swedish podcast on the energy industry, batteries and their role in the transition. In this episode, Sara dives into the intricacies of the European capacity market and addresses the central role of energy storage in driving Europe's energy transition towards sustainability and resilience. Besides, sharing insights from her five-year journey at Northvolt during its formative phase, she also reflects on how these learnings are shaping her current endeavors at EIT InnoEnergy working closely with start-ups and scale-ups. Thank you Stella Futura for the opportunity! ➡️Click here to listen to the podcast (in Swedish): https://bit.ly/4dae8AD #energystorage #energytransition #sustainability Per Schlingmann Ulrika Tornerefelt ☀️🔋

EIT InnoEnergy led the succefull €6 million seed investment round of AQUABATTERY a Dutch climate tech startup developing a saltwater long duration energy storage (LDES) solution. The round was also supported by InnovationQuarter, Invest-NL, Init Power, and a group of business angels . AQUABATTERY is developing a novel flow battery that can store clean electricity in table salt and water for 8 hours or longer. When charged, the battery converts saltwater into acid and base and reverses the process when discharged. The company is preparing to launch its fourth pilot battery in Delft later this autumn. Roel Van Diepen, Investment Director EIT InnoEnergy Benelux, commented on the deal: "It confirms the key role we expect flow batteries to play in our future energy system as we see the technology maturing into commercially viable solutions." #LEDS #storage #innovation https://bit.ly/4daiure

A swift search through the InnoEnergy portfolio reveals treasures. 🔮 Take start-up Beholder that has come up with an incisive response to an essential problem: How to source critical raw material deposits for battery production quickly, efficiently and sustainably? By 2050, some 3 billion EVs will require trillions of batteries. But exploration for the minerals needed to make them is laborious and costly, with only a tiny fraction of prospects becoming a mine. Beholder upscales geological research with an expert AI. The neural network, combining 49 data inputs over 200 models, can make efficient predictions of mineral deposits with an up to 96% accuracy rate! A flexible pricing model based on project size, and risk assessment for investors makes Beholder’s solution, arguably, the smartest on the market. 🤖💓💎 Read more on Beholder’s AI-driven ingenuity at https://bit.ly/3wxr6HG ⚡️Watch this space for more brilliant energy innovations! #EnergyInnovation #Criticalrawmaterials #Electricvehicles #GreenTech #Innovationmarketplace #CleanEnergyFuture "
