Elfa lives on batteries and has had over 100 year of expertise in the field of batteries. Still, it is not blind to other developments. We think that the battery for small-scale use will continue playing an important role. But where batteries will move cars, or, bigger still, supply power to houses and companies, we expect that the role of the battery will become small in the decades to come. After all, hydrogen offers a better alternative.
Thanks to the energy agreement, the convenience of energy from gas and coal will be behind us in the future. We will have to use energy in a completely different way. By 2030, the amount of green electricity produced from nature in the Netherlands must have quintupled. This requires hundreds of additional windmills, and millions of solar panels will be installed.
