The StoreMore project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the Interreg Danube Region Programme.
Within EUSDR Action Plan 2.1, StoreMore is dedicated to helping every country in the region meet its 2030 national targets, thereby supporting the European Union’s ambition to reach 30 % renewable-energy use by 2030 while remaining within national emission ceilings.
The project’s strategic thrust is to accelerate the shift to a renewable-energy-based economy in the Danube Region by boosting energy-storage capacity. Better storage is essential for smoothing the intermittency of renewable energy sources (RES) and achieving a more balanced power grid. A higher RES share in electricity generation demands a more balanced supply—something possible only through a diversified portfolio of electricity-storage solutions.
StoreMore therefore focuses on developing and promoting such alternatives, committing to the research, development and deployment of new, sustainable storage technologies with a far smaller environmental footprint than conventional methods.
Key activities
• Selection of scalable, modular options for alternative electricity storage that are both efficient and more environmentally friendly.
• A modelling tool for planning energy-storage systems, equipped with these innovative, eco-conscious solutions and tailored to the needs and parameters of RES operators.
• A RES-optimisation tool that taps the still-underutilised potential of artificial-intelligence applications in renewable energy when combined with storage.
