PROJECT IMPACTS
STRATEGICAL
-
Europe’s resilience and strategic autonomy by reducing the EU’s technological dependence on other countries in technologies related to energy storage.
-
Interoperability of solutions and systems.
-
Boost R&D in this field.
-
Promoting technology transfer and excellence in the European Defence sector.
TECHNOLOGICAL
-
Improve partners’ capacities: reducing dependence on technologies from non-European countries.
-
Strategic reorientation in the area ofenergy storage, both defence and civilian.
-
Defence (in general, particularly FOBs, incl. Ministries of Defence and Armed Forces): studies, life cycle analyses, recommendationsand design guidelines, among other project results, will benefit the energy storage sector in stationary applications.
-
Generate new skills, technologies and manufacturing capabilities in European industry.
ENVIRONMENTAL
-
Decrease of FOBs’ carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels.
-
Extend the lifetime of storage products and technologies increasing efficiency throughout the life cycle, minimising fuel consumption and reducing raw material and energy consumption in procurement, maintenance and waste disposal.
-
Facilitate the reusability and recyclability of storage systems: design for reuse, design for recycling and eco-design.
ECONOMIC
-
Costs reduction in the energy storage value chain: promoting profitability, simplifying processes and overcoming restrictions such as limited access to resources and suppliers outside the EU.
-
Strengthening existing energystorage value chains in Europe, making them more autonomousand resilient to global threats.
-
In the medium to long term: to contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the European defence industry by creating new market opportunities for stationary energy storage in civil and defence applications.
SOCIAL
-
Market expansion and companies growth in a technology-intensive sector: job creation and employment opportunities for qualified personnel.
-
Carbon footprint reduction and environmental impact of defence missions will reinforce the commitment of the Armed Forcesto society with the environmental objectives and the reduction of emissions at a national and European level.
