A Sustainability Perspective on Near-Future Energy Storage Technologies
Ulderico Ulissi, PhD, Manager, 21C Lab, Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited (CATL)
Energy storage technologies are critical to limiting emissions, and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are a key technology for many applications, including automotive and stationary storage. Therefore, we expect the LIB market to continue growing rapidly. This growth is keeping up the momentum for LIB technological development, which has been largely driven towards decreasing costs and improving performance. However, as LIBs become ubiquitous it is also critical to correctly assess the sustainability impact of the technology. In this presentation, we will discuss the concept of sustainability, how it is linked to Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) criteria, and will critically review the realistic opportunities to make batteries more sustainable in the near future. This will provide the audience more insights into the CATL carbon neutrality plan, and into its pledge to achieve carbon neutrality in its core operations by 2025 and across the battery value chain by 2035.
