Energy storage box development direction

What is the energy storage roadmap?

First established in 2020 and founded on EPRI's mission of advancing safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy for society, the Energy Storage Roadmap envisioned a desired future for energy storage applications and industry practices in 2025 and identified the challenges in realizing that vision.

How can energy storage be used in future states?

Target future states collaboratively developed as visions for the beneficial use of energy storage. Click on an individual state to explore identified gaps to achievement. Energy storage is essential to a clean and modern electricity grid and is positioned to enable the ambitious goals for renewable energy and power system resilience.

How do governments promote the development of energy storage?

To promote the development of energy storage, various governments have successively introduced a series of policy measures. Since 2009, the United States has enacted relevant policies to support and promote the research and demonstration application of energy storage.

What is the future of energy storage?

Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.

Why do we need a large-scale development of electrochemical energy storage?

Additionally, with the large-scale development of electrochemical energy storage, all economies should prioritize the development of technologies such as recycling of end-of-life batteries, similar to Europe. Improper handling of almost all types of batteries can pose threats to the environment and public health .

Can energy storage be a key tool for achieving a low-carbon future?

One of the key goals of this new roadmap is to understand and communicate the value of energy storage to energy system stakeholders. Energy storage technologies are valuable components in most energy systems and could be an important tool in achieving a low-carbon future.
