The aim of the SAMER project is the development of a proprietary zinc-air flow battery technology for grid scale storage of renewable energy. Zinc-air flow batteries are a low cost, safe and environmentally friendly energy storage technology.
Lead the market of energy storage systems with an efficient, competitive and safe technology. Provide an energy buffer to accommodate daily variations in wind and solar energy and stabilize the grid during short-term fluctuations. Reduce dependency from fossil fuels and foreign resources and promote the use of local renewable energy, reducing imports and improving the balance of payments. Conserve the environment and mitigate climate change by incorporating higher shares of renewable energy and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. SAMER is funded by “EEA Grants”. This program, jointly financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, provide funding to 16 EU countries in central and southern Europe. There are 32 programme areas within different sectors ranging from environmental protection and climate change to civil society and research. SAMER is the result of the partnership between Técnicas Reunidas and SINTEF: OVERALL OBJECTIVES
