Roman lithium battery policy planning

Are energy storage and Batteries Included in the new EU policy?

However, energy storage and batteries are barely mentioned in this new policy . The EU wants to encourage the purchase and use of zero- and low-emission vehicles (ZLEV) with a super credits systems that will apply to passenger cars with emissions of less than 50 g CO2/km (NEDC) in the years 2020 to 2022 .

Are lithium-ion batteries a future technology?

However, it can be seen that basically all international strategies refer to lithium-ion batteries as a benchmark, solid-state batteries as a future technology currently under consideration, and alternative battery technologies to potentially increase technology sovereignty and achieve better sustainability.

Are lithium-ion batteries a good option for stationary energy storage?

For electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries were presented as the best option, whereas sodium-batteries were frequently discussed as preferable to lithium in non-transport applications. As one respondent stated, ‘Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a favourable option for stationary energy storage.’

What is the National Blueprint for lithium batteries?

The National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries, released in June 2021, is a 10-year plan to build a sustainable and competitive battery value chain in the U.S. .

What is the overall battery policy?

The overall battery policy can be described as supply side, but includes some demand-side elements regarding the end of the value chain (with respect to Electric Vehicle purchasing).

Are countries adapting their political strategies for battery technology?

Countries worldwide are renewing or adapting their political strategies for battery technologies. In this context, a new Fraunhofer ISI report is analysing the different battery policies and targets with focus on three fields of battery technology research: Lithium-ion, solid-state, and alternative batteries.
