HYBRIS project focuses on hybridisation of Li-Ion and organic redox flow batteries with BMS/EMS integration for grid and behind-the-meter applications.
FOR YOUR ENERGY FREEDOM BV
Dutch energy company combining hybrid battery storage systems with community energy platforms and demand response for residential users.
Their core work
For Your Energy Freedom BV is a Dutch company specializing in energy storage technologies and community energy systems. They contribute expertise in battery management systems, hybrid energy storage (combining Li-Ion with organic redox flow batteries), and demand response solutions for residential communities. Their work spans the technical side of energy storage optimization and the consumer-facing side of local energy communities, digital twins, and open energy marketplaces.
What they specialise in
Both CREATORS and HESTIA address local energy communities, with HESTIA specifically targeting cooperative demand response and consumer digital twins for residential communities.
HESTIA involves open marketplace design and participatory co-design processes for residential energy services.
HYBRIS specifically targets organic redox flow batteries (ORFB) for cost reduction, lifecycle improvement, and energy density gains.
How they've shifted over time
All three projects started in the 2020-2021 window, making it difficult to identify a clear temporal evolution. However, their portfolio shows a dual focus from the start: consumer-side energy community platforms (CREATORS, HESTIA) alongside deep-tech battery storage (HYBRIS). This combination suggests the company positions itself at the intersection of hardware energy storage and software-driven community energy management.
They appear to be building capability across the full energy freedom stack — from physical storage hardware to consumer-facing digital platforms — positioning for the growing local energy community market in Europe.
How they like to work
Always a participant, never a coordinator — they join established consortia rather than leading them. With 51 unique partners across just 3 projects, they operate in large consortia (averaging 17+ partners per project), typical of Innovation Actions. This suggests they contribute specialized components to larger system-integration efforts rather than driving project direction.
Despite only 3 projects, they have built connections with 51 partners across 14 countries — a broad European network reflecting the large consortium sizes of their IA-funded projects.
What sets them apart
Their company name signals their core philosophy: energy autonomy for end users. What distinguishes them is the rare combination of battery storage technology expertise (Li-Ion, redox flow, hybrid systems) with consumer-side energy community design. For a consortium builder, they can bridge the gap between hardware energy storage and user-facing energy services — a combination few small companies offer.
Highlights from their portfolio
- HYBRISTheir largest funded project (EUR 51,875), tackling the technically ambitious goal of hybridizing Li-Ion with organic redox flow batteries for both grid and behind-the-meter segments.
- HESTIACombines multiple emerging concepts — consumer digital twins, cooperative demand response, and open energy marketplaces — into a single residential community energy platform.
