Regulatory issues in the energy storage lithium battery industry

6 FAQs about [Regulatory issues in the energy storage lithium battery industry]

Are lithium-ion batteries the future of storage?

Lithium-ion batteries dominate storage additions at the moment, e.g., 4 GW installed by 2018 ( Pavarini, 2019 ), with behind-the-meter and frequency control being key applications ( Parra and Patel, 2019 ), but they can deliver more applications 1 to increase their value ( IRENA, 2015 ).

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.

Are lithium-ion batteries a good option for stationary energy storage?

For electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries were presented as the best option, whereas sodium-batteries were frequently discussed as preferable to lithium in non-transport applications. As one respondent stated, ‘Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a favourable option for stationary energy storage.’

What technology risks do energy storage systems face?

Technology risks: While lithium-ion batteries remain the most widespread technology used in energy storage systems, these systems also use hydrogen, compressed air, and other battery technologies. The storage industry is also exploring new technologies capable of providing longer-duration storage to meet different market needs.

Is the EU Industrial Policy on batteries effective?

84 Overall, we conclude that the Commission’s promotion of an EU industrial policy on batteries has been effective, despite shortcomings on monitoring, coordination and targeting, as well as the fact that access to raw materials remains a major strategic challenge for the EU’s battery value chain.

When will lithium-ion batteries become a reality?

For lithium-ion battery cells, which are currently the state of the art in electric vehicles, it reached 44 GWh in 202051, approximately 70 GWh in 2022 and could rise up to 520 GWh by 202552.
