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.​
