SLP10 EP #11: Beyond Lithium. Rethinking the Future of Energy Storage | Jean-Luc Cialdini, EasylZinc

Is lithium the only answer to Europe's energy storagechallenge?

In episode #11 of Sustainable Living Podcast Season 10,"Voices for Circular Change" Nicoleta Talpes talks with Jean-Luc Cialdini, CEO of EasylZinc, a French company developing active materials and additives for rechargeable zinc batteries from its innovation centre in Savoie.

We discuss why the energy storage debate is still dominatedby a single chemistry, how AI and data centres are reshaping demand for reliable electricity, why safety is becoming a strategic requirement for hospitals, utilities and critical infrastructure, and what alternative battery technologies mean for Europe's strategic autonomy and industrialcompetitiveness.

Jean-Luc also explains where zinc creates the most valueover the next decade, which applications the market still underestimates, and what a mature, diversified European storage landscape could look like five to ten years from now.

A conversation about chemistry but above all about strategy,resilience and the industrial choices Europe is making right now.
