IEA SHC is again partnering with the IEA Energy Storage (ES) Programme to tackle storage issues. Building on earlier projects, IEA SHC and IEA ES are collaborating to push compact thermal energy storage technology developments and accelerate the market introduction of these technologies. To achieve these goals requires a diverse international team of experts from materials research, components development and system integration, and industry and research organizations.
