Electric vehicle battery deployment rose 40 per cent last year, \u201cwith 14 million new electric cars accounting for the vast majority of batteries used in the energy sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those numbers made batteries \u201cthe fastest growing energy technology in 2023 that was commercially available, with deployment more than doubling year-on-year,\u201d the Paris-based agency writes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBatteries are changing the game before our eyes,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/news\/rapid-expansion-of-batteries-will-be-crucial-to-meet-climate-and-energy-security-goals-set-at-cop28\">said<\/a>\u00a0IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol. \u201cThe combination of solar PV (photovoltaic) and batteries is today competitive with new coal plants in India,\u201d and \u201cjust in the next few years, it will be cheaper than new coal in China and gas-fired power in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That assessment comes more than a year after Clean Energy Canada\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theenergymix.com\/wind-and-solar-cheaper-than-gas-plants-in-ontario-and-alberta-study-shows\/\">reported<\/a>\u00a0that wind and solar farms with battery backup were already cheaper than new gas plants in both Ontario and Alberta.<\/p>\n<p>And battery prices still aren\u2019t close to stabilizing: by 2030, Reuters\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/business\/industry-news\/energy-and-resources\/article-tumble-in-storage-battery-costs-in-coming-years-to-boost-shift-to\/\">reports<\/a>, the IEA projects that capital costs will fall by another 40 per cent. \u201cThe slide in battery costs will also help provide electricity to millions of people without access, cutting by nearly half the average electricity costs of mini-grids with solar PV coupled with batteries by 2030,\u201d the news agency writes, citing the IEA report.<\/p>\n<p>With a 90 per cent cost reduction since 2010, higher energy densities, longer operating life, and a wider mix of chemistries that can be adapted to mineral availability and price, the IEA says lithium-ion batteries \u201chave outclassed alternatives over the last decade.\u201d The added energy density in EV batteries is coming from their relatively high nickel content, while stationary storage markets shift toward lithium iron phosphate chemistries that use no nickel or cobalt and offer \u201ceven lower flammability and a longer lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith falling costs and improving performance, lithium-ion batteries have become a cornerstone of modern economies, underpinning the proliferation of personal electronic devices, including smart phones, as well the growth in the energy sector,\u201d the IEA writes. \u201cIn 2023, there were nearly 45 million EVs on the road\u2014including cars, buses, and trucks\u2014and over 85 GW of battery storage in use in the power sector globally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That rapid growth means the energy sector now accounts for more than 90 per cent of annual lithium-ion battery demand, an increase from 50 per cent as recently as 2016, despite \u201ccontinuing use of lithium-ion batteries in billions of personal devices in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But the sector will have to deliver much more, even faster to support the tripling of global renewable energy capacity by 2030 that countries adopted as a shared target at the end of COP28 negotiations in Dubai late last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy enabling greater shares of renewables in the power system and shifting electricity supply to when it\u2019s most needed, batteries will help advance progress on the goals set at COP28,\u201d the IEA says. But \u201cbattery deployment will need to scale up significantly between now and the end of the decade to enable the world to get on track for its energy and climate goals,\u201d with batteries accounting for 90 per cent of a six-fold increase in storage capacity and pumped hydro covering most of the rest.<\/p>\n<p>While most battery manufacturing is currently located in China, the IEA says 40 per cent of the new capacity announced in the last year was located in the United States and the European Union. \u201cIf all those projects are built,\u201d the agency says in a release, \u201cthose economies would have nearly enough manufacturing to meet their own needs to 2030 on the path to net zero emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This article was published by The Energy Mix on April 26, 2024.
