BABA emissions

BAtteria-Based energy storage for the mobile provision of EMISSION-free electrical energy

The reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) is a priority goal on the political agenda and a necessity for achieving climate targets and limiting the rise in global temperatures. Achieving these goals will require efforts in virtually all sectors of modern life. Many of the solutions to this end take into account the substitution of fossil fuels with electrical (and ideally renewable) energy sources.

The “BABA Emissions” project is aimed at GHG reductions for the construction industry and for firefighting operations, where decarbonization and increased efficiency can be achieved through the use of electro(chemical) storage systems. Currently, construction sites and mobile power supplies are mostly diesel generators or diesel-powered machines.
