Hi. I'm Merve
Research Motivation
Background
As a powerful stakeholder, battery energy storage systems play a critical role in ensuring universal energy access.
With a keen eye on the evolving landscape of battery chemistry and climate-focused policies, Merve understands the potential disruptions they pose to industries built on fossil wealth. Her work delves deep into these dynamics, recognizing the global energy landscape’s transformation as a battleground for geopolitical and economic influence.
As a champion for sustainable energy practices, Merve recognizes the shift from fuel-intensive to material-intensive energy systems as pivotal in mobilizing efforts towards a cleaner future. Join her as she navigates the complexities of this transition, driving meaningful change in the pursuit of sustainable energy use.
Approach
Triangle
In the midst of transitioning to a clean energy system and the emergence of new energy trading models, Merve recognizes the critical role of countries and geopolitical considerations. This shift underscores the need for a reevaluation of the energy sector’s framework, particularly in addressing the growing demand for minerals essential to battery energy storage systems and other clean energy technologies.
As the energy ecosystem evolves, with stakeholders ranging from policymakers to market actors, there’s a heightened awareness of potential tensions in the supply-demand balance. This underscores the importance of viewing the framework through the lens of the “policy-market-symbiosis” triangle. This approach not only identifies key players in the clean energy future but also seeks to mitigate the impact of supply chain disruptions, price spikes, and geopolitical shocks.
