Which energy storage companies will win the clean Future Act?

WoodMac: Global energy storage capacity is expected to grow at a CAGR of 31% through 2030. The March 2, 2021, CLEAN Future Act (H.R. 1512) Bill authorizes US$565B towards US carbon-free electricity by 2035. The key winners will be solar, wind, nuclear, and energy storage. Some listed energy storage companies and some ETFs to consider.

Which energy storage sector has the greatest growth potential?

BNEF forecasts that utility scale energy storage will be the dominant sector, meaning the utility companies that supply grid scale electricity, rather than behind-the-meter residential energy storage. If correct, this means utility energy storage is the area of greatest growth potential.

Is energy storage adoption accelerating?

Energy storage adoption is already rapidly accelerating in the USA, up 182% QoQ in Q4 2020. Looking out further, BloombergNEF (BNEF) forecasts a 122x increase in global energy storage from 2018 to 2040.

What's a good way to store energy?

Lots of cool graphs. Don't forget liquid metal batteries, such as Ambri. Pumped Hydro is the most widely used method of energy storage, 80-90 percent although it is dependent on terrain. @dvd1812 And liquid air is being trialed in the UK. Can be used anywhere, cheap, but not very efficient.

Will US energy storage grow in Q4 2020?

Demand for USA energy storage increased nearly 182% QoQ in Q4 2020, boosted by demand from utility scale installations. Energy storage is set to benefit from the accelerated move towards renewable energy. The chart below shows BNEF's 2020 global electricity generation mix forecast. We can see the two major areas of growth will be solar and wind.

What is the most common form of energy storage?

Apart from dams, the most common form of energy storage is using batteries. The most common form of battery by far, for now, is lithium-ion; however, other types such as vanadium redox flow [VRFB], zinc flow and other methods (compressed air, flywheel, thermal, gravitational) also have potential.
