About this event
The global battery market is one of the fastest growing, and most exciting, sectors in the energy transition, affecting consumer trends towards electric vehicles and the integration of renewable generation using stationary storage. Prices have consistently fallen as deployment rises, but the market faces a lack of transparency over drivers and where costs are headed.
This lack of insight on cost contributors can delay spending decisions and market activity as battery customers hold on for lower prices.
The resulting uncertainty has decision-makers guessing whether they are buying at the right price, targeting sufficient cost reductions, and if they are set up for success across the battery value chain.
This webinar will discuss the current state of the industry, and the challenges players are facing in the short and long term. It will touch on efforts towards sustainable production of batteries, as well as the interplay between globalisation and localisation and the technological roadmap the industry is following to boost performance and reduce costs.
Curation, which monitors the rapidly evolving world of battery technology, capacities, and costs with its curated battery briefing, will introduce its Battery Cost Curve Model, developed with analytical support from McKinsey & Company.
A description of how the model tracks ongoing trends across the supply chain, from raw materials to manufacturing, will be provided along with an explanation of the tangible, actionable insights on current and predicted costs of batteries can be gleaned from it.
A panel discussion moderated by Energy Storage News Editor Andrew Colthorpe will see Curation’s Head of Energy Content joined by experts from McKinsey to discuss the market in greater detail, and there will be an opportunity to discuss the model and state of the battery market in a Q&A with webinar attendees.
