How does it work?
Brine is pressurized to 70 bar and freshwater to a few bar. Permeate pass frem low
pressure to high pressure and dilute the brine. The excess flow at high pressure is used to
generate energy.
Caverns are excavated by injecting water and dissolving salt

Main Conclusions
• System scale-up from 125 cell pairs of
the first unit to the 500 cell pairs of the
second and third units did not lead to
any reduction of specific performance

Conclusions
3. Barriers
• Global supply chain and price constraints: volatility
in international material prices, more expensive
transportation and financing, and continued supply
chain bottleneck
• Current lead times slow down production: e.g., up to
5 years for EV battery production
• Lack of skilled workforce: 180,000 skilled workers
needed in the hydrogen sector and 66,000 for solar PV
by 2030
Global market for key mass- Once in a generation opportunity to secure
manufactured net-zero technologies the EU's industrial lead in the fast-growing
to triple by 2030 with an annual value net-zero technologies sector with the Net-
of around EUR 600 billion Zero Industry Act
Technology Scope (1/2)
*
In scope are
manufacturing
facilities that
produce:
“final products,
specific components
and specific
machinery primarily
used for the
production of those
products” * Silicon metal is covered in CRMA, hence polysilicon is not in scope of NZIA.
Net-Zero Industry Act:
• Simplification: One-stop shop, online access to info, faster permitting (12-18 months)
Net-Zero • Innovation: Regulatory Sandboxes
• Expertise and skills
Technologi
es
• Facilitated access to markets through enhanced sustainability and resilience criteria in auctions (15-
Net-Zero 30% weight of award criteria), public procurement and other public schemes
• Benchmark for manufacturing capacity of strategic net-zero technologies to reach at least 40% of EU's
Strategic annual deployment needs by 2030
Possibility to become a Strategic Net-Zero Technology Project
Technologi •
es
• Priority status and obligations for Member States to process the permits faster via shorter timelines
• Shorter permitting deadlines (9-12 months)
Strategic Net- • Overriding public interest
Zero • MS and COM to support through crowd-in private investments in net-zero strategic projects to accelerate
their implementation
Technology • Benefit from finance coordination by the Net-Zero Europe Platform
