Emerton has a distinctive expertise in energy storage, across the value chain from materials (chemical components, polymers, metals) to energy storage operations. We cover a broad array of energy storage technologies from compressed air and battery storage to hydrogen-based solid storage.

The numerous projects led by Emerton in Energy Storage include natural gas storage, crude oil & refined products storage, storage of enery carriers such as NH3 (as an energy carrier), LOHC, methanol, and power storage.

Emerton has a deep expertise in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) 

We assisted several pure energy storage companies, projects and investors in:

• their strategic plans
• business cases and economic equations
• business models and market access assessments
• regulation design support
• cost roadmaps and industrial set-ups
• decarbonization of storage infrastructure

As an illustration, Emerton:

• advised a storage technolology supplier in its market access strategy, business model design and in triggering the first contracts
• mapped applications and gauged market potential for an innovative CAES technology
• assisted an industrial group in selecting lithium-ion battery suppliers
• advised an investment fund in the acquistion of a FTM (Front-of-the-meter) BESS flexiblity player, valuing the full set of power value pockets from ancillary TSO services (FCR, aFFR, mFRR), balancing, day-ahead and intraday trading, capacity mechanism
• advised an investment fund in the financing of a BTM (Behind-the-meter) BESS flexibility player for power midsize end-consumers, combining market analysis, competitive analysis and foreseeable evolutions of regulation notably regarding DSO and TSO time-related grid fees
