Battery chemistries not included in the report are traditional lead-acid batteries, such as absorbent glass mat and valve-regulated lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride, and nickel-cadmium chemistries.
And with the popularity of electric vehicles, the grid is under more and more pressure, so the demand for energy storage is growing. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. But feasibility in today’s grid applications requires the application of the latest technologies.
With the worldwide emphasis on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, energy storage has become an essential solution for grid stability and reliability. Not only that, but energy storage is also an important research direction in the field of electric vehicles.
Nickel-cadmium batteries from 30 or 40 years ago got replaced by nickel-metal-hydride batteries. And fairly quickly, nickel-metal-hydride got replaced by traditional lithium-ion batteries. Rick Luebbe: I think that silicon will completely replace graphite-based batteries as soon as there is enough capacity.
Notice in [link] that GM carefully avoids claiming to reduce CO2 by shifting to the grid, but leads people off the track by focusing on smog related issues. The mines in Canada where the nickel & cadmium are mined is one of the most polluted places on Earth. GM knows better and guards against making fraudulent claims.
