DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Janos Toth\, VP of Business Development\, Gravient\n\n
 Subject: Scalable\, Sustainable\, Solvable: The Economics of Gravient Grid
 -Scale Gravity Energy Storage\n\nAbstract:\n\nAs renewable energy adoption
  accelerates\, the demand for reliable\, long-duration storage grows ever 
 more critical. This session explores the economic\, environmental\, and te
 chnical dimensions of gravity-based energy storage and its role in buildin
 g a resilient power grid. Join us to examine how Gravient an innovative 
 “lifted weight” system offer a scalable\, cost-effective\, and sustain
 able solution for balancing renewable supply and demand for a cleaner\, mo
 re stable energy grid.\n\nThis is part of the TALK series organized by Car
