How will government support electrochemical storage?

New research promoting soft-side innovations and business models will expedite integration of electrochemical storage into common markets. Further government support is necessary to promote responsible R&D spending that enables serious cost reductions across solar, wind, and storage, while also decarbonizing electricity and transportation.

Will electricity storage benefit from R&D and deployment policy?

Electricity storage will benefit from both R&D and deployment policy. This study shows that a dedicated programme of R&D spending in emerging technologies should be developed in parallel to improve safety and reduce overall costs, and in order to maximize the general benefit for the system.

Can the US become a leader in electric battery storage?

Further government support is necessary to promote responsible R&D spending that enables serious cost reductions across solar, wind, and storage, while also decarbonizing electricity and transportation. The US has the opportunity to become a leader, not a laggard, in electric battery storage manufacturing and development.
