…breakeven comes after 1-year and the total payback is 10x. https://thundersaidenergy.com/downloads/co2-emissions-from-batteries-when-do-evs-break-even/ For grid-scale batteries, there are many different potential business models. Our favorite is to install grid-scale batteries downstream of…
Redox flow batteries have 6-24 hour durations and require 15-20c/kWh storage spreads. They will increasingly compete with lithium ion batteries in grid-scale storage. Does this unlock a step-change for peak…
…lithium ion batteries are using LFP chemistry, charging within a limited range, at low charge-discharge rates (C-rates) at a stable temperature of around 25C. This might be associated with a…
Today’s lithium ion batteries have an energy density of 200-300 Wh/kg. I.e., they contain 4kg of material per kWh of energy storage. Technology gains can see lithium ion batteries’ energy…
Who will ‘win’ the intensifying competition for finite lithium ion batteries, in a world that is hindered by shortages of lithium, graphite, nickel and cobalt in 2022-25? Today’s note argues…
…do redox flow batteries compare to lithium ion batteries? Overall we think that for long-duration, grid-scale electricity storage, redox flow batteries are looking more economical than lithium ion, especially once…
…ultimately not accept, and getting distracted from what consumers actually will want; precisely at the time when China is gearing up in low-cost vehicle production helped by low-cost LFP batteries….
…that a LFP lithium ion battery must charge to earn a 10% IRR off $1,200/kW installed capex costs. Other batteries can be compared in the data-file. $749.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to…
…industry, as a milder acid than sulfuric or hydrochloric acids. While a new use is in synthesizing the cathodes for LFP batteries. c90% of global phosphoric acid is made via…
…be higher for some redox flow batteries, compared to deflating costs of lithium ion batteries. Another of our data-files tabulates the costs and operating parameters of different battery systems. All…
