ESS will deliver its iron flow battery solution to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the second largest airport in mainland Europe, in Q1 2023. The Energy Warehouse will be used in a pilot to enable the retirement of polluting diesel generators in the future as part of Schiphol Airport’s ambitious sustainability plan. Schiphol is to be a zero-waste and emission-free airport in 2030. A pilot will be carried out with the Energy Warehouse to recharge Electric Ground Power Units, E-GPU. E-GPUs are batteries which will replace the diesel ground power units currently used to supply electrical power to aircraft when parked at the airport. "The decarbonization of air travel is crucial and Schiphol is leading the way," said Alan Greenshields, ESS director Europe. "We are proud to partner with a leading airport operator to demonstrate and pilot the key role that long-duration energy storage will play in helping to decarbonize airport operations and reduce ground level emissions, improving air quality for airport and airline employees and passengers."
