a medieval city where cobblestone streets meet cutting-edge energy tech. Welcome to Tallinn, Estonia—a place where grid energy storage materials aren't just jargon but the backbone of a smarter, greener grid.
Tallinn's grid isn't your grandpa's power system. Here's the lowdown on their material magic: Lithium-ion Batteries 2.0: Forget clunky power banks. Tallinn uses graphene-doped anodes that charge faster than a Tesla Supercharger. One pilot site near Ülemiste Lake stores enough juice to power 500 homes during peak blackout seasons.

Vanadium Flow Batteries: These giants are the "marathon runners" of storage, perfect for Tallinn's long, dark winters.
As we approach 2025''s energy crunch season, Tallinn''s storage fleet stands ready to power 63,000 homes through 72-hour outages. Not bad for a city that only started its storage push in 2021.
TALLINN - The Cabinet has endorsed proposals by Estonian Minister of Energy and the Environment Andres Sutt to reduce bureaucracy and simplify regulations in the fields of energy,
Through changes in the energy, transport, and building sectors, the city aims to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 (compared to 2007 levels) and to reach full climate neutrality by 2050.
According to an analysis of energy consumption in the first quarter, in the first three months of this year, Tallinn saved almost 2.58 million kWh of energy from the energy costs of city
With global energy storage projected to hit $546 billion by 2035 [1], Tallinn''s experiments could shape how cities worldwide tackle climate change. Let''s unpack what makes this Baltic gem a
The heat and mass transfer mechanisms through green roofs are analyzed and explained using the modeled energy balances, and parametric studies of green roof behavior are presented.
Tallinn University of Technology has received some happy news recently: the state has allocated seven million euros for seven years to two centres of excellence led by our researchers, one of which
In addition to the financial merits of a company, Tallinn invests into businesses with strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices.
Energy-eficiency driven renovation of buildings is the most efective way of reducing heating-related greenhouse gas emissions — the city reduced emissions from heating from 9.6m MWh in 2007 to
This vibrant city has been actively advancing sustainability initiatives in recent years, earning the title of European Green Capital in 2023. Now, Tallinn is fully committed to its heat detox as part of its
