A significant milestone has been reached in the HYDROMINE project, as researchers successfully develop and test new, environmentally friendly pipeline materials. Led by the Cluster of Excellence MERGE at TU Chemnitz, Work Package 4 (WP4) has made crucial progress in creating sustainable solutions for energy storage applications in post-mining regions. At the heart of this achievement is the successful processing of “green” polymers derived from renewable resources. The team d

Fraunhofer IWU is supporting the project partners in creating a database by identifying potential sites for small pumped hydro storage (SPHS) systems in Germany and collecting the necessary data on the size and location of possible storage reservoirs, existing infrastructure and power grid, as well as energy demand in the region and average energy prices. The objective of the data collection is to assess the potential for energy storage in SPHS systems installed in former ope

Planned energy storage projects in Greece (batteries & pumped hydro storage) Source: https://geo.rae.gr/   Energy storage sector has gained massive popularity over the past years in Greece. In particular, the investment interest in pumped hydropower storage has been bolstered, resulting in 95 pumped hydro storage projects  that have acquired electricity storage permit from the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Waste and Water-RAAEY (until October 2025), with an output power th
