6 FAQs about [Energy storage funding initiative]
What is the energy storage Grand Challenge (ESGC)?
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC) is a comprehensive program to accelerate the development, commercialization, and utilization of next-generation energy storage technologies and sustain American global leadership in energy storage.
What is the future of energy storage study?
The Future of Energy Storage study is the ninth in MITEI’s “Future of” series, which aims to shed light on a range of complex and important issues involving energy and the environment.
What is the battery Workforce Initiative?
Launching the Battery Workforce Initiative, led by the Department of Energy in partnership with Department of Labor, to develop industry-recognized training and credentials to support rapid and high-quality workforce development.
Why is energy storage important?
Energy storage is essential to enabling utilities and grid operators to effectively adopt and utilize the nation’s growing portfolio of clean energy resources, like solar and wind, on demand. However, today’s energy storage technologies are not sufficiently scaled or affordable to support the broad use of renewable energy on the grid.
Should the government focus on alternative electrochemical storage technologies?
The report recommends that the government focus R&D efforts on other storage technologies, which will require further development to be available by 2050 or sooner — among them, projects to advance alternative electrochemical storage technologies that rely on earth-abundant materials.
Why is the American battery material initiative important?
Today’s actions and the launch of the American Battery Material Initiative will also make America more competitive, ensuring we can make more in America to support our own supply chains and workers. The U.S. and its allies currently do not produce enough of the critical minerals and battery materials needed to power clean energy technologies.
