Batteries hold the key to transitioning away from fossil fuel dependence. Already now electric vehicles, the largest consumers of batteries, have become commercially viable from both a cost and performance perspective. Driven by this development, the next step, and what will define the next decade, is utility-scale battery storage.
The power sector offers growing opportunities for the use of battery storage systems to support the integration of variable renewables such as wind and solar PV into electricity systems. Coupled with the growing share of renewables in the global power generation mix, the IEA estimates that the global installation of utility-scale battery storage could increase 25-fold between 2020 and 2040.
Read more about the potential of battery storage systems in meeting the growing demand for energy system flexibility and in bolstering the demand for battery metals.

Over the past two weeks we closely followed the climate talks at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) hosted by the UK in Glasgow. In a final push to secure the unanimous consent of all 197 countries that signed the Paris climate accord, the conference went into overtime on Saturday.
It was expected before the event that new pledges for COP26 would fall short of the target of halving global emissions this decade on a path to limiting global warming to well below 2°C by 2050. However, the conference was critical for the parties to finalise the rules for implementing the 2015 Paris climate accord.
The final agreement that was reached by diplomats on Saturday aimed at intensifying global efforts to fight climate change by calling on governments to return next year with stronger emissions-reduction targets and promises to double the money available to help developing countries cope with the effects of global warming. Moreover, the topic of coal and fossil fuels consumption reduction has for the first time ever been included in a final COP decision. The agreement asks countries to phase down coal consumption and set an end to fossil fuel subsidies.

The decarbonisation of the global energy mix coupled with the rising share of electricity in final consumption makes a central contribution to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Thereby, batteries stand out as an important technology because they enable the use of energy that can be readily generated from renewable sources and produce no emissions at the point of use.
Historically, the battery market was dominated by consumer electronics, guiding innovation in technology design and configurations. In 2017, however, EVs became the largest consumers of batteries. Looking ahead to 2040, widespread EV adoption leads to a 40-fold increase in battery demand to 6.2 TWh in the IEA’s Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS).

Given present trends, passenger and freight activity will more than double by 2050, according to the IEA. This trend carries with it greater energy demand and increased CO2 emissions. Rail is the only transportation mode in the EU that between 1990-2017 has consistently reduced its emissions and energy consumption, while increasingly using renewable energy sources.
Rail is already highly electrified and therefore a key to decarbonising the transport sector as it is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the rise of renewables in the electricity mix. The IEA says that the “aggressive, strategic deployment” of rail would see CO2 emissions from global transport peak in the late 2030s.
Read about how increased investments in rail infrastructure and a shift away from more CO2-intensive modes, such as private cars, trucks and aircraft, may drive the deployment of more mineral-intensive clean energy technologies.

Starting this Sunday, 31 October 2021, up to 30,000 heads of state, diplomats and activists are expected to meet in person at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) hosted by the UK in Glasgow.
Although it is expected that the new pledges for COP26 fall short of the emission reduction target, it is critical for the parties to come up with mechanisms and ways forward on how to close that gap further between now and 2025. While total mineral demand is already set to double by 2040 under consideration of today’s climate policies, demand from clean energy technologies will have to quadruple in that time for the climate goals of the Paris Agreement to be attainable.

Conventional airplanes emit about 214g of GHGs per passenger kilometre.
In the future, both fully electric and hydrogen powered aircraft are imaginable, while more near-term solutions will have to rely on the use of alternative fuels or hybrid drive. Importantly, all ways of delivering net-zero aviation will require increased production and new distribution systems of low carbon electricity (and green hydrogen) to become a reality.

A large container ship can emit the CO2 equivalent of 75,000 cars, while the sector as a whole is responsible for 3% of annual global GHG emissions. To reduce emissions in one of the hardest-to-electrify sectors, a shift to renewable fuels or alternative means of propulsion is necessary.
Read about how an increase in the capacity of electrolysers by 2050 is set to increase the mineral demand for nickel or platinum group metals.
