It’s no secret we love batteries, and it is clear that battery storage has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. With various storage technologies in operation across the industry - there are also various differences in use cases. In today's episode, Quentin chats to Alan Greenshields Director EMEA at ESS inc to really deep dive into the journey that batteries have gone (and are still going!) through, the world of flow battery technologies, hydrogen storage and much more. Some of the topics covered in the conversation include:

• Alan’s background and role in the development of different types of battery technologies over his career.
• A comprehensive introduction to flow batteries and the different use cases for flow vs lithium ion.
• Where hydrogen can be best placed within various technologies, to achieve maximum efficiency.
• What the current state of global supply chains looks like for flow batteries.
• And of course how ESS inc. is involved in all of this.
