The Department of Energy has launched its Energy Storage Grand Challenge as a means of accelerating the development, commercialization, and utilization of next-generation energy storage technologies.
“Energy storage is key to capturing the full value of our diverse energy resources,” Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette said. “Through this Grand Challenge, we will deploy the Department’s extensive resources and expertise to address the technology development, commercialization, manufacturing, valuation, and workforce challenges to position the U.S. for global leadership in the energy storage technologies of the future.”
The goal is to create and sustain global leadership in energy storage utilization and exports, with a secure domestic manufacturing supply chain independent of foreign sources of critical materials, by 2030.
While research and development (R&D) is the foundation of advancing energy storage technologies, the department notes global leadership also requires addressing associated challenges.
The DOE is expected to soon release requests for information (RFI) soliciting stakeholder feedback on key questions and issues the Challenge seeks to address while also hosting a series of workshops to share information about various storage technologies, current barriers to deployment and help shape the work that will bring those technologies to market.
The department looks forward to engaging with stakeholders to develop a complex-wide strategy to position the nation for global leadership in energy storage.
