    Project Description

    Sustainable energy production, storage and balancing on warehouses

    Goals of the project

    Energy storage and charging infrastructure concepts, and how this can be best integrated in logistics.

    Also, transforming warehouses and cross docks into private charging infrastructure by, for example, installing massive amounts of solar panels, needs investigation.

    Containerized battery stations that act as local energy storage and charging solutions. How to best integrate this with existing logistics designs is a key consideration.
