Long-term energy storage has become a prominent topic in industry discussions, especially given the goals outlined by the Biden administration and the imperative for these technologies to thrive. Meeting the ambitious targets set for 2030 presents a significant challenge. With the emergence of new technologies, the role of batteries in this evolving landscape is under scrutiny. 

As a fundamental technology, batteries are central to ongoing debates, particularly concerning the future of lithium-ion batteries and their comparison with alternative technologies. Following the DOE´s commercial liftoff,   LDES  technologies must garner approximately $9-12 billion in investment by 2030. This funding is particularly crucial for LDES to compete effectively with Li-ion batteries and to lower the risk profile for larger-scale investors over the long term. 

This underscores the importance of conducting comprehensive analyses of electrochemical technologies and evaluating their suitability for long-term energy storage projects. 

Join us for an in-depth exploration of batteries and their significance within the Long-Duration Energy Storage ecosystem. This session is designed to go over the following areas:

• Highlight the adaptability of lithium-ion batteries to the long-term energy storage market, including advancements in manufacturing processes aimed at cost reduction, increased production, and the implementation of safety measures to mitigate risks 
• Explore the potential of other batteries such as flow batteries, such as vanadium redox flow batteries and zinc-bromine flow batteries, which offer inherent advantages for long-term energy storage, including scalability and the ability to decouple power and energy capacities , or sodium-sulfur batteries (NAS Batteries), one of the most mature long-duration energy storage technologies, with their long lifetime, robustness, reliability and proven safety
• Showcase case studies illustrating the deployment of these technologies and their impact on long-term energy storage projects
