Energy storage

Explore the beta version of the EPO Observatory's Data Desk to see how EPO patent data turns into actionable intelligence.

As Europe accelerates the clean energy transition and promotes electrification, energy storage becomes increasingly important to enabling energy security. The cartography below enables in-depth analysis of game-changing technological subfields. Cartographies for additional critical technologies will be added in the future.

Given the rapid pace of change in these subfields, please note that the data below may be subject to change. The cartography builds significantly on that created for the joint study on batteries and electricity storage, published by the EPO and the International Energy Agency in 2020.
