This essay will start by explaining the 4 key components of the EU Battery Strategy: The European Battery Alliance as a forerunner, the EU Batteries Regulation of 2023, a comprehensive framework addressing the lifecycle of batteries from design to disposal, the Raw Materials Strategy, and the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda.
Most of the supply chain, including raw materials, processing, and manufacturing, is dominated by non-EU actors, particularly China, which controls 75% of global production. Yet, batteries are at the core of the European Union’s energy transition, forming a crucial link in achieving the ambitious goals of the European Green Deal.
We’re accelerating battery storage across Europe by making it a political priority: 10X by 2030! In 2024, Europe installed 21.9 GWh of new battery storage capacity: 11th consecutive record breaking year of annual additions Annual growth slows down in 2024 to 15%: inflection point toward next strong growth phase, led by grid-scale deployment
The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped storage hydropower', which works by pumping water into reservoirs when there is an electricity surplus in the grid - for example on a sunny or windy day - and releasing it when more energy is needed.
Yet, batteries are at the core of the European Union’s energy transition, forming a crucial link in achieving the ambitious goals of the European Green Deal. They are essential for decarbonizing sectors like transportation, energy, and industry by providing reliable energy storage for renewable sources.
