Energizing Our Cities: Battery and Energy Storage Technologies for Urban Settings
Connect. Collaborate. Commercialize.
The New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium (NY-BEST™) is a rapidly growing, industry-led, private-public coalition of entrepreneurial, academic, corporate, and federal partners building a vibrant, world-class advanced battery and energy storage sector from R&D to commercialization based in New York State.
NY-BEST draws expertise from R&D to engineering and manufacturing:
- A robust cluster of Fortune 100 and startup energy storage companies spanning the product development pipeline from new materials to complete storage and integrated systems.
- Three federal Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) focusing on energy storage;
- Two dozen top academic institutions with first-rate facilities, top researchers and students working on energy storage solutions;
- Brookhaven National Laboratory, a federal Department of Energy Lab and home to the National Synchrotron Light Source (NLSL) and the future NSLC II , one of the world’s most widely used facilities with 2,100 academic, federal, and corporate researchers conducting projects each year; and
- Two of the world’s most powerful supercomputers at RPI and Stony Brook/Brookhaven National Lab available for industry and academic use in energy storage modeling.
Established with $25 million in state funding from Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) proceeds administered through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, NY-BEST and its partners are transforming the battery and energy storage industry.
