The planet’s oceans contain enormous amounts of energy. Harnessing it is an early-stage industry, but some proponents argue there’s a role for wave and tidal power technologies. (Undark) Batteries can unlock other energy technologies, and they’re starting to make their mark on the grid.
However, the daily operation of batteries also contributes to such emission, which is largely disregarded by both the vendor as well as the public. Besides, recycling and recovering the degraded batteries have proved to be difficult, mostly due to logistical issues, lack of supporting policies, and low ROI.
Average battery costs have fallen by 90% since 2010 due to advances in battery chemistry and manufacturing. Today lithium-ion batteries are a cornerstone of modern economies having revolutionised electronic devices and electric mobility, and are gaining traction in power systems.
However, there are several challenges associated with the use of primary batteries. These include single use, costly materials, and environmental concerns. For instance, single use primary batteries generate large quantities of unrecyclable waste materials and toxic materials.
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.
Batteries are an important part of the global energy system today and are poised to play a critical role in secure and affordable clean energy transitions. In the transport sector, they are the essential component in the millions of electric vehicles (EVs) sold each year.
