The planet’s oceans contain enormous amounts of energy. Harnessing it is an early-stage industry, but some proponents argue there’s a role for wave and tidal power technologies. (Undark) Batteries can unlock other energy technologies, and they’re starting to make their mark on the grid.
As one of the core technologies of NEVs, power battery accounts for over 30% of the cost of NEVs, directly determines the development level and direction of NEVs. In 2020, the installed capacity of NEV batteries in China reached 63.3 GWh, and the market size reached 61.184 billion RMB, gaining support from many governments.
On the other hand, it is possible to reduce the production cost of batteries by giving some tax incentives to battery manufacturers or manufacturers of core components of the battery industry based on overall considerations of their production quality, sales performance, innovation ability, customer satisfaction, and other aspects.
Batteries won’t be the magic miracle technology that cleans up the entire grid. Other sources of low-carbon energy that are more consistently available, like geothermal, or able to ramp up and down to meet demand, like hydropower, will be crucial parts of the energy system.
Rechargeable batteries lose stored energy when they’re not being used because an idle battery undergoes internal chemical reactions that slowly drain its energy. This “self-discharge” process can eventually consume active ingredients in the cathode, where the electron-spent lithium ions collect while the device is in use.
The former will lead to a significant increase in the number of batteries that need to be recycled each year, which in return increases the cost of battery recycling and the latter will lead to an increase in emissions, and it goes against environmental protection the national and local governments have been advocating . 5.1.2.
The energy transition: Navigating the realities | McKinsey
Hydrogen and other energy carriers. New energy carriers would be needed to serve as alternative fuels and feedstocks for industrial processes. One option is hydrogen, which faces two Level 3 challenges. First, the hydrogen molecule goes through many steps and, therefore, energy losses before it can be used; these would need to be minimized and ...
