Today, our focus is on unfolding the narrative of energy storage development in Israel—an emerging market with a tale of its own. Change is inevitable, and the energy
The convergence of technological excellence, entrepreneurial drive, and focus on sustainability makes Israeli energy storage innovations not just commercially promising but
Ma''ale Gilboa, a remote kibbutz on a rocky hilltop in northern Israel, was an unlikely spot to build a farming community, let alone the future of Israel''s energy supply. But its
Projects already underway include the development of cost-effective sodium-ion batteries and the recycling of lithium-ion batteries, which are central to renewable energy storage.
To help Israel''s industrial and commercial energy transition, GSL Energy and Deye have jointly created a highly efficient and flexible energy storage demonstration project.
The institute—Israel''s first of its kind—is set to play a central role in developing energy storage technologies, supporting groundbreaking academic research, and serving as a
Projects already underway include the development of cost-effective sodium-ion batteries and the recycling of lithium-ion batteries, which are central to renewable energy storage.
Sodium-based batteries for storing renewable energy cheaply and the recycling of lithium-ion batteries are among the challenges to be researched at a new NIS 130 million ($37

Based at Bar-Ilan but to be run in conjunction with the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in the northern city of Haifa, the body will oversee the development, training, and commercialization of energy storage technologies.
The institute’s innovative research infrastructure will serve all researchers in Israel, and its establishment is very significant news.” The Energy Ministry provided NIS 100 million ($28.4 million) for the new institute, with Bar-Ilan funding the remaining NIS 30 million ($8.5 million).
(Gavriel Fiske/Times of Israel) Bar-Ilan University President Prof. Arie Zaban, an energy researcher and entrepreneur, said “deep-tech-based” technological solutions were critical for the planet’s future and that the institute would “help position the State of Israel as an ecosystem in the field of climatech.”
