The development of battery industry is a development priority for European countries and the Russian Federation. Proof of this is the creation of a "European battery Alliance", development "concept of development of the market of systems of storage of electricity in the Russian Federation" the development and approval of "Strategic plan for the development and production of batteries in Europe", etc.
Why the world and the scientific community invests financial and intellectual capital in the battery industry?
According to various estimates (Mckinzy, BCG, etc.) to 2035-2040 gg, the number of cars in the world will exceed 2 billion units, with 33% of the total world fleet will consist of electric vehicles. The growth rate of the automotive industry directly correlates with the growth of the battery market: the expected growth rate of the world market of starter lead-acid batteries + 3-3,5% per year.
Rapidly growing segment of the energy storage system, consumers which can be national or regional grid, commercial and industrial enterprises, private and public electric transport, household and industrial equipment. It is estimated that the global market volume for energy storage in 2025 will reach $ 80 billion. USA per year, Russia's share will be 10% (8 billion us dollars. USA).
Given these factors, the development of battery industry is a strategically important area for economic, environmental and technological security of the country. For example, Russia has developed "Concept of development of the market of systems of storage of electricity in the Russian Federation". Her goal is a technological breakthrough in the next 10 years, the development and implementation of industrial systems for energy storage as a new cluster of nanotechnology.
In October of 2017 created by the European Alliance battery (Batteries Alliance), which aims to become the basis of industrial policy and to make the EU a world leader in the field of innovation, digital economy, decarbonization. In may 2018, approved the "Strategic plan for the development and ;production of batteries in Europe".
To achieve the goals, the EU plans to invest about 20 billion euros of investment. Implementation of these measures will lead to an increase in the share of the EU on the battery market up to 250 billion euros per year is 2025.
Currently available a variety of technological solutions to energy storage, including lead-acid, lithium-ion, Nickel-based, sodium-based etc. they All have the potential for use under different conditions.
Simultaneously with the development of other technologies, lead-acid will have broad application in the field of conservation and energy storage:
• lead-acid technology are at a more advanced stage of technological development, the nominal expenses to implement the lowest
• application of lead-acid technologies are in demand in the future, and environmentally friendly, thanks to the development of recycling technologies. It is the most recycled product, according to Battery Council International (BCI) the recycling rate of lead is 99.3%.
Given that hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles are installed lead-acid batteries to maintain the power of the onboard network, it will also have a positive impact on the rate of development of lead-acid technology.
According to the forecasts (BCC Research) by 2025, the global capacity of the segment of industrial energy storage systems using lead-acid technology will be more than 18% .
