Published: 23 Dec 2020, 10:23 By: Andy Colthorpe The DoE wants to support the creation of competitive energy storage manufacturing domestically. Pictured is a proposed 10GWh production plant for lithium-ion battery storage by KORE Power, which like much of the US industry is currently reliant on supply chains through Asia. Image: KORE Power. The US government’s Department of Energy (DoE) has described its just-published Energy Storage Grand Challenge Roadmap as its first comprehensive strategy on energy storage, identifying cost and performance targets to be met in the coming years. The publication of the document follows the launch of the Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC) by the DoE at the beginning of this year and the publication of a draft version of the new roadmap in summer. Among other things, it sets out a target for the levelised cost of long-duration energy storage to be reduced by 90% over the next nine years. ....
DOE releases Energy Storage Grand Challenge Roadmap; 44% reduction in manufactured cost for 300-mile EV pack by 2030 The US Department of Energy (DOE) released the Energy Storage Grand Challenge Roadmap, the Department’s first comprehensive energy storage strategy. Announced in January 2020 by US Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette, the Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC) seeks to create and sustain American leadership in energy storage. Over the last four fiscal years (FY17–20), DOE has invested more than $1.6 billion into energy storage research and development $400 million per year, on average. While technology offices have established individual goals and targets, the Department has never had a comprehensive strategy to address energy storage. This is why the US Secretary of Energy announced the Energy Storage Grand Challenge in January 2020. ....
