Did you know that batteries

2
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:03.840 align:center position:20% size:60%
are an essential pillar of the energy transition

3
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:05.840 align:center position:20% size:60%
and the key to a greener future?

4
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:07.560 align:center position:20% size:60%
No, not these ones.

5
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.960 align:center position:20% size:60%
Nor these ones.

6
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:11.320 align:center position:20% size:60%
We are talking about technologies

7
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:13.800 align:center position:20% size:60%
that can radically change the way we produce

8
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:14.880 align:center position:20% size:60%
and use energy.

9
00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:16.840 align:center position:20% size:60%
Imagine a world in which solar

10
00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:19.200 align:center position:20% size:60%
or wind power is always available,

11
00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:20.840 align:center position:20% size:60%
even when that seems impossible:

12
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.320 align:center position:20% size:60%
for example, on rainy days

13
00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:25.040 align:center position:20% size:60%
or when there is no wind.

14
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.400 align:center position:20% size:60%
OK, well, batteries can make that world a reality.

15
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.120 align:center position:20% size:60%
They can collect the energy we generate

16
00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:33.560 align:center position:20% size:60%
when it is sunny and windy,

17
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:36.040 align:center position:20% size:60%
and give it back to us when we need it most,

18
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:38.160 align:center position:20% size:60%
for example, at night.

19
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:40.040 align:center position:20% size:60%
Not only that,

20
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.920 align:center position:20% size:60%
batteries are also transforming the grids that bring us power.

21
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:45.440 align:center position:20% size:60%
Thanks to smart grids,

22
00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:48.000 align:center position:20% size:60%
which are capable of better managing energy flows,

23
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.400 align:center position:20% size:60%
batteries help balance supply and demand in real time.

24
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.200 align:center position:20% size:60%
What does it mean for us?

25
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.200 align:center position:20% size:60%
It means being able to make the best use of energy

26
00:00:56.360 --> 00:00:59.120 align:center position:20% size:60%
and create a more efficient system for everyone.

27
00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:01.160 align:center position:20% size:60%
Why is all this important?

28
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.840 align:center position:20% size:60%
So that we can reduce CO2 emissions,

29
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.440 align:center position:20% size:60%
accelerate decarbonization and combat climate change.

30
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.400 align:center position:20% size:60%
And also have greater energy autonomy.

31
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.520 align:center position:20% size:60%
Sure, because with a renewable energy plant

32
00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:14.920 align:center position:20% size:60%
and a storage system,

33
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.120 align:center position:20% size:60%
you can reduce your dependence on the grid,

34
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.320 align:center position:20% size:60%
but also on all other sources.

35
00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:23.040 align:center position:20% size:60%
To sum up, batteries… give rhythm to the future!
