Target Markets

Exploring High-Potential Sectors for Innovation

Naval and pleasure craft

For an average cruise ship, a capacity to accumulate at least 15-20 MWh of energy is required. The cruise sector engages around 20 ships / year and therefore requires 400 MWh/year

Electric buses

Italian market: Each bus uses batteries from 300 to 400kWh; the related market therefore uses 1.2-1.5GWh/year of batteries

Avionics

Embryonic market but with an important future, partly captive, today a few MWh/year, but highly specialized and to be developed

Storage associated with renewable energy plants

The current target for increasing renewable energy in Italy provides for an installation of 20 GW per year. From this follows a storage need for 240GWh/year
