Elestor B.V. has been around for about a decade, and now we’re ready for the third phase of our growth plan. During this phase, we will identify and develop the most robust, cost-effective and desirable engineering solutions that will enable partners and customers to introduce and integrate our technology into their existing and future operations. Or to put it more succinctly; we’re transitioning from a research-based company to an 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 company that will deliver value to our partners and customers, as well as to society more broadly. So far, we’ve basically built the company’s foundations. We’ve done this during two phases: One, as a start-up focusing on 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 of hydrogen-based flow battery technologies. Two as an 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 growth company searching for specific technological solutions to complex sets of challenges. This, the third phase in our growth plan, is also the one that will make Elestor B.V. a 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. We’re ready to do this because the first two phases of our development and growth plan resulted in the creation of a hydrogen-based, large-scale, long-duration flow battery solution. We have chosen to develop this technology in engineering settings during phase 3 because we believe it is optimal when benchmarked against a complex set of criteria. The technology we will develop in engineering settings during phase three has been carefully selected based on a set of complex criteria, ranging from commercial considerations presented by clients and industry partners, to availability of the required materials, which must be abundant, to scientific, technical and societal criteria. What this means in the real world is this: We have come up with a robust, affordable and scalable way to store electricity produced by solar panels and wind turbines. This will help speed up the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables. 𝐓𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: https://lnkd.in/e6RqH5_D

Elestor B.V. in the national newspaper of Italy, La Repubblica Technological innovation, combined with a sustainability strategy fully integrated into the company's operations, plays a strategic and enabling role in the implementation of Snam S.p.A. 's Investment Plan (26 billion euros over the decade) and, more generally, in the Group's energy and digital transition path, which envisages carbon neutrality by 2040 for Scope 1 and 2 and Net Zero on all emissions by 2050, as confirmed by the recent Transition Plan presented by the Group. This was underlined on the occasion of Snam's Innovation Day - Evolving Horizons, a day dedicated to discussion and sharing with the wider community in the field of innovation, in the presence of the Group's CEO Stefano Venier and the Chief Strategy & Technology Officer Claudio Farina. During the event, technologies and ideas capable of contributing to redesigning the energy industry were presented and awarded, through both consolidated solutions and cutting-edge experiments in digital and green technologies, which embody the Group's approach to the twin transition, energy and digital. "The world is facing an unprecedented wave of transformation , and companies, especially energy and infrastructure companies, must leverage innovation as a key factor to drive change. – commented Snam CEO Stefano Venier - Days like this are the best opportunity to see first-hand the progress we are making in the field of technological innovation, in all its forms, coming from both inside and outside the company, in the spirit of that visionary pragmatism that is also the basis of our Transition Plan". At the heart of the day, two main initiatives: the Centrale delle Idee and HyAccelerator, which embody Snam's approach to innovation. The Centrale delle Idee, part of the Snam Innova program, represents an entrepreneurship path that promotes cultural change and an innovative mindset among employees, encouraging them to propose and develop solutions in line with the Group's strategic objectives, to the point of turning them into internal startups or patents. HyAccelerator, Snam's corporate accelerator, selects international startups proposing clean-tech technologies, accelerating the adoption of innovative solutions for decarbonisation. Through the Snam innova and HyAccelerator programmes, focused on the energy transition, since 2021 Snam has involved over 400 people from the Group who have generated more than 300 ideas and examined more than 2,900 startups, financing several projects. During the event, the awards ceremony for the two initiatives also took place. One of the HyAccelerator companies that received recognition was the Dutch Elestor B.V.
