Hybrid energy storage systems are defined as the integration of several types of technologies into a system capable of storing electrical energy and heat for later use.
Check out our new questionnaire in the social impact tab and share your input.
Big part of our project activities are dissemination and exploitation. Dissemination means sharing research results with potential users - peers in the research field, industry, other commercial players and policymakers. Exploitation is the use of project results for commercial purposes.
In SCORES, the project coordinator TNO and Dissemination/Exploitation leader FENIXTNT meet monthly to discuss and plan these activities!
Many thanks to all speakers and World Sustainable Energy Days for organizing this event.

SCORES representatives from RINA-C will introduce our project during the seminar "General-States on Hydrogen and fuel cells - The role of hydrogen in the energy transition and mobility" tomorrow at Polytechnic University of Milan (Italy).
The use of hydrogen is becoming increasingly widespread in the whole world. Despite the full compatibility of these technologies with the Italian energy system, their diffusion is still limited in Italy. What are the technological, economic and legislative barriers that prevent its rapid development also in Italy? General States Hydrogen and Fuel Cells 2018 will discuss this topic with the world of research, industry, and institutions, in light of Italy's recent adhesion to the " Hydrogen Initiative " of the European Union.
SCORES consortium met at the General Assembly meeting after 12 months of the project in Baden-Baden (Germany) from 6th to 8th November 2018. They had a chance to discuss the project progress and plans for the next six-month period.
