Material requirements for metal casing of energy storage power supply

What material requirements will be impacted by the 1.5 °C scenario?

Consistent with the strong growth in renewable energy and the electrification of the transport system required by the 1.5 °C scenario, these material requirements will also increase dramatically, particularly those for cobalt and lithium.

What is energy storage medium?

Batteries and the BMS are replaced by the “Energy Storage Medium”, to represent any storage technologies including the necessary energy conversion subsystem. The control hierarchy can be further generalized to include other storage systems or devices connected to the grid, illustrated in Figure 3-19.

What raw materials are needed for power transformation?

Sweeping transformation and growth of the power sector will require considerable inputs of emission-intensive raw materials, from critical materials such as rare earth (in particular neodymium [Nd], dysprosium [Dy]) and semi-/precious metals to structural materials such as cement, steel, and fiberglass.

Why do we need more materials in the electricity sector?

Results show a rapid growth in the demand for most materials in the electricity sector, as a consequence of increased electricity demand and a shift towards renewable electricity technologies, which have higher material intensities and drive the expansion of transmission infrastructure and electricity storage capacity.

Which raw materials are used in electricity generation technologies?

The remaining materials (Ag, Cd, Dy, Ga, In, Mn, Nd, Ni, Se, and Te) we designate as “specialty metals.” This is not an exhaustive list of raw materials used in electricity generation technologies.

Which metals can be mined in a non-fossil case?

However, the increases in requirements in the non-fossil case for aluminum (1–15%), nickel (50–250%), molybdenum (30–100%) and silver (0–44%) but also uranium (130–190%) would have a significant impact on the mining of these metals. In the CCS case the material requirements are less but still significant.
