As the world transitions to renewable energy, 2024 has been pivotal in advancing sustainable battery technology. Several promising innovations and trends are helping reshape the industry, making it possible to eliminate widespread dependence on fossil fuels to power everyday life. 1. Lithium-Sulfur Batteries
Image by Unsplash. The rise in EV sales and growing demand for lithium-ion batteries have underscored the dire need for a circular economy. Great strides have been made in improving battery recyclability and reuse in 2024. Experts have explored lithium-ion battery design to improve longevity and recyclability near the end of the life cycle.
Prices: Both lithium-ion battery pack and energy storage system prices are expected to fall again in 2024. Rapid growth of battery manufacturing has outpaced demand, which is leading to significant downward pricing pressure as battery makers try to recoup investment and reduce losses tied to underutilization of their plants.
As the world transitions to renewable energy, advancing sustainable battery technology has been pivotal. Several promising innovations and trends are helping reshape the industry and are set to continue in 2025.
Stationary storage additions should reach another record, at 57 gigawatts (136 gigawatt-hours) in 2024, up 40% relative to 2023 in gigawatt terms. We expect stationary storage project durations to grow as use-cases evolve to deliver more energy, and more homes to add batteries to their new solar installations.
Although impressive innovations in green energy occurred in 2024, there’s still much to learn and discover. In the coming years, battery technology will continue accelerating the transition toward renewable sources and decreased reliance on fossil fuels.
