Total demand for green energy storage batteries

What percentage of lithium battery demand is in the energy sector?

According to the IEA, the energy sector already accounts for over 90 percent of total lithium battery demand. In 2023 alone, the global battery deployment has increased by 42 gigawatts (GW) over the previous year in this sector. This represents an increase of more than 130 percent.

Will global battery storage capacity increase six-fold by 2030?

The global battery storage capacity must increase six-fold by 2030 – this is the main message of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Special Report, Batteries and Secure Energy Transitions, published in April.

What is the total spending on battery energy storage in 2022?

Global investment in battery energy storage exceeded USD 20 billion in 2022, predominantly in grid-scale deployment, which represented more than 65% of total spending in 2022. Grid-scale battery storage investment has picked up in advanced economies and China, while pumped-storage hydropower investment is taking place mostly in China.

What will China's battery energy storage system look like in 2030?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) will have a CAGR of 30 percent, and the GWh required to power these applications in 2030 will be comparable to the GWh needed for all applications today. China could account for 45 percent of total Li-ion demand in 2025 and 40 percent in 2030—most battery-chain segments are already mature in that country.

Which countries invest in battery energy storage in 2022?

In 2022, advanced economies and China invested in grid-scale battery energy storage. Global investment in battery energy storage exceeded USD 20 billion, with more than 65% spent on grid-scale deployment.

How many batteries are used in the energy sector in 2023?

The total volume of batteries used in the energy sector was over 2 400 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2023, a fourfold increase from 2020. In the past five years, over 2 000 GWh of lithium-ion battery capacity has been added worldwide, powering 40 million electric vehicles and thousands of battery storage projects.
