Department of energy doe 2020 advanced energy storage budget

What is the energy storage Grand Challenge roadmap?

In December 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released the Energy Storage Grand Challenge Roadmap, the Department’s first comprehensive energy storage strategy. DOE previously released a draft version of this Roadmap in July 2020 along with a Request for Information (RFI).

What is the energy storage Grand Challenge (ESGC)?

As part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC), DOE intends to synthesize and disseminate best-available energy storage data, information, and analysis to inform decision-making and accelerate technology adoption.

What is the DOE budget for fossil energy?

DOE’s Congressional budget justification for Fossil Energy for fiscal year 2020 designates $4.5 million for “Crosscutting research and analysis…on thermal, mechanical, and/or chemical storage that can be feasibly and economically integrated with existing and future fossil energy power systems.”

How much will energy storage cost in 2030?

With six use cases that identify energy storage applications, benefits, and functional requirements for 2030 and beyond, the ESGC has identified cost and performance targets, which include: $0.05/kWh levelized cost of storage for long-duration stationary applications, a 90% reduction from 2020 baseline costs by 2030.

Where will stationary energy storage be available in 2030?

The largest markets for stationary energy storage in 2030 are projected to be in North America (41.1 GWh), China (32.6 GWh), and Europe (31.2 GWh). Excluding China, Japan (2.3 GWh) and South Korea (1.2 GWh) comprise a large part of the rest of the Asian market.

What is the energy storage roadmap?

The Roadmap includes an aggressive but achievable goal: to develop and domestically manufacture energy storage technologies that can meet all U.S. market demands by 2030.
