With Europe set to reach 789.2GWh of lithium-ion battery gigafactory production by 2030, what does the US need to do to keep up?

Ascend Elements will recycle manufacturing scrap from SK Innovation’s lithium battery gigafactories in Georgia, US.

With a commitment to add 1GW each of new solar PV and wind each year, Turkey’s need for energy storage is coming sooner rather than later. 

Borrego has chosen Powin Energy as supplier of battery storage, with the pair signing an 800MWh supply agreement.

Eos Energy Enterprises’ leadership has claimed gross positive margins can be achieved in a year and a half. 

Although different energy storage technologies are often thought of as in competition with each other, it’s a case of all-hands-on-deck if we are to achieve deployment targets.

Eos Energy Enterprises has said that equipment and machinery will begin arriving next month as the zinc-based battery storage company expands its manufacturing facility near Pittsburgh.

Pandemic-related supply chain issues for lithium battery materials hitting the energy storage space are just “bumps in the road” for the sector, and the supply chain will “come out stronger because of it”.

US President Joe Biden announced a “major investment in domestic production of key minerals and materials” this week, including efforts to strengthen supply chains of lithium and other materials used in batteries. 

Creating a wider ecosystem of services and software is essential for system integrators to stay ahead, according to Julian Jansen at Fluence.
