Energy storage and efficiency are critical components in the transition to a sustainable energy future. With the increasing reliance on intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, effective energy storage solutions are essential to balance supply and demand. Energy storage technologies enable the capture of excess energy during peak production times and its release during periods of high demand, thereby enhancing grid stability. Furthermore, improving energy efficiency reduces overall consumption and minimizes waste, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Despite these benefits, energy storage and efficiency solutions face challenges, including high initial costs, technological limitations, and regulatory barriers. To explore these issues and promote advancements in the field, a one-day symposium on Enhancing Energy Storage and Efficiency will be held during the SEEP 2026 conference.
