Vattenfall and the BMW Group have signed a contract for the delivery of up to 1,000 lithium-ion batteries this year. The first energy storage from the BMW-i3 batteries is being built at the 122 MW onshore wind farm “Princess Alexia” near Amsterdam. It is meant to maintain the security of supply with a feed-in of 100% renewable energy.

However, a significantly lower carbon footprint is achieved when charging the car with renewable electricity, such as wind power. When a driver charges a C40 Recharge with clean energy, such as wind power, the CO 2 life cycle impact of the car is less than half that of a traditional, combustion-engine powered Volvo XC40.

Gas Li-ion batteries thwart extreme cold South 8 Technologies demonstrates the cold tolerance of its Li-ion battery by burying it in ice at the 2024 ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit. That’s a big improvement on conventional Li-ion batteries, which start to degrade when temps reach 0 °C and shut down at about –20 °C.

Benson from Stanford University and Stanford’s Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) has quantified the energetic costs of 7 different grid-scale energy storage technologies over time. The Stanford study considered a future US grid where up to 80% of the electricity comes from renewables. Credit: Barnhart and Benson, 2013.

They begin by observing that the EU’s goal of 95 gCO 2 /km fleet average emissions by 2020 can only be met by means of extended range electric vehicles or all-electric vehicles in combination with the integration of renewable energy (e.g., wind and solar). kWh name-plate /kg battery-system are not yet on the horizon.

As power grids everywhere increasingly rely on intermittent renewable energy, batteries and other forms of energy storage that can even out the bumps in supply and demand are taking on a crucial role. This time around, though, the emphasis is on “green hydrogen”—that is, hydrogen produced using clean energy such as solar or wind power.
