In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems. The projections are developed from an analysis of recent publications that include utility-scale storage costs.
Establishing a domestic supply chain for lithium-based batteries requires a national commitment to both solving breakthrough scientific challenges for new materials and developing a manufacturing base that meets the demands of the growing electric vehicle (EV) and stationary grid storage markets.
This National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries, developed by the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries will help guide investments to develop a domestic lithium-battery manufacturing value chain that creates equitable clean-energy manufacturing jobs in America while helping to mitigate climate change impacts.
Estimates based on a 10-year lifetime assumption found that the volume of LiBs that have reached the end of their utility for all applications in the United States could total four million metric tons annually by 2040. This equates to approximately two million units based on an average weight of 2 tons per unit.
A robust, secure, domestic industrial base for lithium-based batteries requires access to a reliable supply of raw, refined, and processed material inputs along with parallel efforts to develop substitutes that are sustainable and diversify supply from both secondary and unconventional sources.
The elimination of critical minerals (such as cobalt and nickel) from lithium batteries, and new processes that decrease the cost of battery materials such as cathodes, anodes, and electrolytes, are key enablers of future growth in the materials-processing industry.
There is a potential for a circular economy for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) in the United States. LiB reuse/recycling efforts can reduce negative environmental impacts associated with the lifecycle of a battery and lead to new and expanded markets and job creation. However, there are many technical, economic, and regulatory factors that currently inhibit this circular economy.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) store electricity and flexibly dispatch it on the grid. They can stack revenue streams offering arbitrage, capacity and ancillary services under regulated frameworks, long-term offtake agreements and merchant schemes. Contracted revenue minimises price volatility.

Lithium-ion (Li-ion): Lithium-ion batteries are the battery of choice among electrical storage applications, from electric vehicles to consumer electronics. They use lithium ions to transfer a charge between the cathode and anode. While the anode is always made of graphite, the cathode materials vary across sub-types (nickel, cobalt, or manganese).
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation. Using the detailed NREL cost …
In this report we analyze drivers, barriers, and enablers to a circular economy for LiBs used in mobile and stationary BES systems in the United States. We also analyze federal, state, and local legal requirements that apply to the reuse, recycling and disposal of LiBs as well as the legal liability associated with noncompliance.
developed a wide range of codes and standards related to battery energy storage: testing criteria to ensure the safety of different chemistries under different uses, design requirements to achieve durable and reliable system assembly, and interconnection standards to achieve
Different technologies exist for electric batteries, based on alternative chemistries for anode, cathode, and electrolyte. Each combination leads to different design and operational parameters, over a wide range of aspects, and the choice is often driven by the most important requirements of each application (e.g. high energy density for electric vehicles, low …
