In this podcast, the speaker discusses the implications of EU battery regulations on the BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) industry in Europe. The speaker express her opinion on how these regulations can enhance sustainability and quality standards within the EU market. Additionally, the speaker addresses the utilization of different cell chemistries such as NMC, LFP, and Na-ion, offering insights into which chemistry is likely to be adopted in BESS in the future. Furthermore, the speaker explores the concept of second-life batteries in BESS applications and provides insights into operational expenditure (OPEX) management within the BESS sector.
