This technology strategy assessment on zinc batteries, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.
The objective of SI 2030 is to develop specific and quantifiable research, development, and deployment (RD&D) pathways to achieve the targets identified in the Long-Duration Storage Shot, which seeks to achieve 90% cost reductions for technologies that can provide 10 hours or longer of energy storage within the coming decade.
Companies such as Zinc8 Energy Solutions and e-Zinc are developing Zn-air batteries for microgrids and both commercial and residential behind-the-meter applications, including energy cost reduction, renewables integration, and power quality.
