Select Committee on Science and Technology Corrected oral evidence: Role of batteries and fuel cells in achieving Net Zero

Abstract:

This document is the transcript of the oral evidence given by six members of the Faraday Institution HQ team, Board and Expert Panel on the House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology inquiry into the Role of batteries and fuel cells in achieving Net Zero on Tuesday 9 March 2021. The Committee called for 'long-term commitments on the role of battery and fuel cell technologies to give the UK a future competitive advantage in in achieving the UK's ambition to reach net-zero fuel cells and next-generation batteries' which would allow the UK to leapfrog its competitors and gain an advantage for future manufacture of batteries and vehicles. Further, it calls for widening the scope of battery innovation to include batteries for stationary applications on electricity grids, to help balance supply and demand whilst making better use of renewable generation. This document records the 19 questions asked to Professor Nigel Brandon, Professor Mauro Pasta, Professor Pam Thomas and Amer Gaffar by the present members.
