SMRTR summary
Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport has installed a battery energy storage system using 162 recycled EV batteries from Nissan and Stellantis. The system, part of the PIONEER project, stores 6 MWh of energy from 55,000 solar panels, supporting the airport's goal of net-zero emissions by 2030. This innovative approach extends battery life, reduces waste, and is expected to cut CO2 emissions by 16,000 tons over 10 years.
