New Energy Materials Energy Storage Laboratory

What are the new energy innovation hubs?

The U.S. Department of Energy announced the creation of two new Energy Innovation Hubs led by DOE national laboratories across the country. One of the national hubs, the Energy Storage Research Alliance (ESRA), is led by Argonne National Laboratory and co-led by Berkeley Lab and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

What is the Energy Storage Research Alliance (Esra)?

The Energy Storage Research Alliance will focus on advancing battery technology to help the U.S. achieve a clean and secure energy future Berkeley Lab’s contributions to ESRA include world-leading energy storage research expertise and capabilities, such as the Advanced Light Source.
