This issue of Operational Highlights provides a timely overview of the emerging technologies in the power sector including energy storage and electro-mobility, focusing on exciting new trends in energy storage research and development. We also have a closer look at the strategic importance of rare earth minerals that are a critical for energy security. As well we touch upon how we can reduce the likelihood of cyberattacks against control systems used to monitor and manage our critical energy infrastructure. Lastly, we provide fresh insights on NATO initiatives in military energy efficiency.
