Battery tech is scaling fast: from electric vehicles to grid-scale solutions, the battery revolution is one of the most exciting enablers of the energy transition. And it’s not just happening in Silicon Valley or China, right here in the Netherlands, battery innovation is charging ahead!
For this edition of Carbon Equity’s Climate Conversations, we zoom in on the Dutch battery ecosystem with two CEOs at the forefront of this transformation:
🔋 Casper Peeters, founder & CEO of E-magy, is rethinking battery materials through silicon innovation — unlocking higher-energy, faster-charging batteries for EVs and beyond.
⚡ Kevin Dijkers, CEO of GIGA Storage, is building the large-scale battery infrastructure that makes renewable energy reliable and available around the clock — delivering grid stability and unlocking a flexible and future proof energy system.
From deep tech materials to massive battery parks, we’ll explore how these founders are scaling climate solutions in a market that’s set to grow exponentially over the next decade.
🔍 What we’ll explore
- Why batteries are the backbone of the energy transition — and how the market is evolving
- The differences between materials innovation vs. infrastructure deployment
- The role of the Netherlands as a growing hub for battery innovation
- Entrepreneurial lessons from building capital-intensive, hardware-driven businesses
