How is battery technology transforming the energy landscape?

Breakthroughs in battery technology are transforming the global energy landscape, fueling the transition to clean energy and reshaping industries from transportation to utilities. With demand for energy storage soaring, what’s next for batteries—and how can businesses, policymakers, and investors keep pace?

Can China provide battery energy storage solutions to global renewable capacity?

In a race of providing battery energy storage solutions to global renewable capacity, China is leading with about 60 percent of the global manufacturing capacity of lithium-ion batteries and more than 90 percent of the processing capability of raw metals and minerals, a potential to provide for the 2024 global energy storage needs all by itself.

How much battery storage is needed to achieve energy transition goals?

In fact, at least 1200 GW of battery storage capacity will be needed if the world wants to achieve 2030 energy transition goals. While Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a traditional storage method that accounts for a majority of global storage still, it faces challenges which make alternative storage solutions a more attractive option.

Are batteries the future of energy storage?

Developments in batteries and other energy storage technology have accelerated to a seemingly head-spinning pace recently — even for the scientists, investors, and business leaders at the forefront of the industry. After all, just two decades ago, batteries were widely believed to be destined for use only in small objects like laptops and watches.
