Detailed explanation of the energy storage industry chain

What are the different types of energy storage technologies?

This report covers the following energy storage technologies: lithium-ion batteries, lead–acid batteries, pumped-storage hydropower, compressed-air energy storage, redox flow batteries, hydrogen, building thermal energy storage, and select long-duration energy storage technologies.

What is the growth rate of industrial energy storage?

The majority of the growth is due to forklifts (8% CAGR). UPS and data centers show moderate growth (4% CAGR) and telecom backup battery demand shows the lowest growth level (2% CAGR) through 2030. Figure 8. Projected global industrial energy storage deployments by application

What is the energy storage Grand Challenge?

This report, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Storage Grand Challenge, summarizes current status and market projections for the global deployment of selected energy storage technologies in the transportation and stationary markets.

What is long-duration energy storage (LDEs)?

Long-duration energy storage (LDES) is one example of an emerging market included in this report. Below is a high-level description of LDES that portrays its evolving profile and opportunity to fill an important storage need. As renewable content on the grid increases, the duration of storage needed to provide reliability also increases.

Where will stationary energy storage be available in 2030?

The largest markets for stationary energy storage in 2030 are projected to be in North America (41.1 GWh), China (32.6 GWh), and Europe (31.2 GWh). Excluding China, Japan (2.3 GWh) and South Korea (1.2 GWh) comprise a large part of the rest of the Asian market.

Why is the United States a leader in stationary storage deployments?

In contrast to growth in transportation, the United States is a leader in global stationary storage deployments. This is usually because renewables are often the lowest-cost generation source, but require storage to mitigate variability.
