With their ability to store and deliver energy efficiently, batteries are helping to integrate renewable energy sources into the grid, electrify transportation and power a wide range of applications. ABB, a global technology leader in electrification and automation, is at the forefront of this sea change.
The global energy landscape is undergoing an evolution from fossil fuels to renewables and more sustainable sources. As growth in non-fossil energy continues to soar, the need for efficient energy storage is rising in parallel. Enter the battery – a powerful technology anchoring this global energy transition.
Batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) are essential to deliver global energy efficiency gains and the transition away from fossil fuels. In the NZE Scenario, EV sales rise rapidly, with demand for EV batteries up sevenfold by 2030 and displacing the need for over 8 million barrels of oil per day.
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.
To address these limitations, a number of next-generation battery technologies including high-nickel, silicon anode-based, lithium–sulfur, lithium–air, and solid-state batteries have been developed. However, the energy requirements and resulting greenhouse gas emissions are yet unknown, which could impact their future commercialization.
Innovation reduces total capital costs of battery storage by up to 40% in the power sector by 2030 in the Stated Policies Scenario. This renders battery storage paired with solar PV one of the most competitive new sources of electricity, including compared with coal and natural gas.
