Which countries are focusing more on the circularity of batteries?

China is now also focusing more on improving the circularity of batteries. Japan (as an early technology leader) has traditionally strongly focused on the supply side and strategically planned the R&D strategies with roadmaps and milestones (such as the road-maps of the national research and development agency or organization - NEDO).

Which countries support research and innovation on solid-state batteries?

The research and innovation alliances at EU (Batte-ries Europe) and national level (e.g. Batterie2020 in Germany) also support research on solid-state batteries as an emerging technology. The European Commission has declared battery research and innovation a European priority area and has approved two IPCEIs on batteries.

Does China s Global Positioning affect the battery industry?

With it ́s global positioning along the battery value chain and geografically across the globe (with stronger focus on Asia and Europe), China howe-ver does not seem to fear a relevant impact on it ́s battery industry – at least in the short to mid term.

What are the key market trends for battery storage?

It covers key market trends, with a particular focus on the shift toward utility-scale storage, the continuing growth of residential and commercial installations, and the evolving role of battery storage in supporting Europe's clean energy goals.

Which countries have a cycle life target for alternative batteries?

Three countries set a cycle life target for alternative batteries beyond 2030, for different types of batteries (Japan for zinc-anode and fluoride batteries (EVs/PHEVs use) and the EU for metal-air batteries, China’s KPI did not specify the type of battery), but with the same value (at least 2,000 cycles23).

Should stationary storage be included in the Federal battery storage tax credit?

The Biden administration wants to include stationary storage in the Federal Battery Storage Procurement Tax Credit. It also wants to strengthen the U.S. recycling, domestic battery materials, cell and pack production, and invest in the next generation of batteries for EVs.
