EU Body Explores Sodium Batteries for Household Energy
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has published a study on the potential of sodium-ion batteries to enhance household energy resilience. The report highlights that this technology, which does not rely on critical raw materials like lithium, could offer a sustainable and affordable solution for home energy storage. This would allow citizens to store solar power, reduce reliance on the grid, and contribute to overall energy security. The EESC calls for policy support to scale up production of this technology in Europe.
A new, cheaper battery technology could help EU homes store solar power and cut energy bills.
