COVER FEATURE
Visionaries of a brighter future ETN commemorates the World Energy Storage Day (September 22) with this special section dedicated to the pioneers and promoters of energy storage globally, who have spent years developing technologies that have enhanced quality of life and set the foundation for future innovation. In the following pages, we have put up short profiles* of 50 leading personalities and their companies, whose contributions and initiatives in the field of energy storage have been defining the successful futurity of the sector. These names have been selected
through an online poll conducted on our site. We humbly recognise the foresight and acumen of all visionaries in the field of energy storage and renewable energy. Though our list is definitive of a number, it is in no way exclusive in the acknowledgement of all the entrepreneurs and path-setters of the sector. We will continue to cover people, products, and companies that have made a difference. This is also an endeavour to present a world-view of the efforts and progress being made in the
energy storage arena, through innovative products, services, ideas, and even fruitful collaborations. Global warming is a world issue, and it is encouraging to see that great efforts are being made to reduce harmful emissions, pollution, and dependency on fossil fuels. It is also heartening to note that in the process, emphasis is also being given to improve the quality of life of people by producing user-friendly, cost-effective and longer-lasting products. We strongly believe: every bit of energy stored, is power enabled.
* Profiles have been collated by our team after careful research, from information available online and some through company sources. In assimilating the information, preference has been given to personal social media sites and blogs, and company websites. Names of the personalities have been presented in alphabetical order for the readers’ ease of searching.
