Goals

  • Enhance the speed of battery technology commercialization.[3]
  • Develop and refine energy storage solutions for diverse applications.
  • Foster partnerships to integrate laboratory research with industry needs.

Organization

ACCESS is managed by Argonne National Laboratory, under the umbrella of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. The center operates through a multidisciplinary approach, involving materials science, chemistry, and engineering experts. Funding comes from DOE allocations, partnerships, and project-specific grants.

The leader of the program holds the title/position of **Director of ACCESS**.

Partners

  • No specific partnerships are listed, but ACCESS engages with various companies in the battery and energy storage industries.

History

ACCESS was established in late 2015 to catalyze the transfer of energy storage innovations from lab to market. It was founded on the recognition that energy storage is key to renewable integration, electric vehicles, and grid stability. Over time, ACCESS has facilitated numerous collaborations, leading to the development of new materials and battery technologies. It has no specific legislative origin but is part of Argonne's broader mission to advance energy science.

Funding

While specifics on initial funding are not publicly detailed, ACCESS is supported by DOE funding, industry partnerships, and research grants. Funding is aimed at supporting research, development, and the commercialization process.

Implementation

Implementation includes:

  • Organizing workshops and collaborative projects with industry.
  • Providing access to Argonne's advanced research facilities and expertise.
  • Developing pathways for technology transfer and commercialization.

ACCESS is designed to operate indefinitely, supporting ongoing innovation in energy storage.
