Pre-commercial procurement - Pre-commercial procurement (PCP) of research and development services for long-term energy storage in the range of 10 h - 150 h
This announcement (PIN) announces a public market consultation and provides information on a planned pre-commercial procurement (PCP) on long-term energy storage. The project responds to the need for further development of scalable, largely location-independent long-term energy storage systems as system-relevant infrastructure in a defossilised energy system. The focus is not on (incremental) further developments of hydrogen-based seasonal storage systems or lithium-based short-term storage systems, but rather storage technologies with structurally favourable cost and loss characteristics with discharge times of between 10 hours and up to 150 hours. Further information on the upcoming public market consultation and the planned PCP can be found at https://go.fzj.de/9LXuy in German and at https://www.energieforschung.de/lw_resource/datapool/systemfiles/elements/files/c3005a4e-1330-11f1-a9f4-fa163ebab5e5/live/document/Appendix-Notice _on _market _consultation _and _information_on_the _planned_PCP_LDES.pdf in English.
