New technology iteration points to "replacing lithium" energy storage

　　Although lithium-ion batteries are currently the main support for new energy storage projects, in the long run, lithium-ion batteries are not omnipotent. The diversified energy storage demand calls for emerging technologies to quickly complete reserves. "Replacing lithium" technology is becoming a hot topic of concern for enterprises and capital.

　　The liquid flow battery, considered one of the best long-term energy storage technologies, has made frequent financing progress recently. The reporter learned from Star New Energy, an all vanadium liquid flow energy storage enterprise, that the company has recently received investment from a number of important investment parties such as State Power Investment Industry Fund, Minmetals Venture Capital, CRRC Capital, Chinese Academy of Sciences Capital, and China Petroleum Kunlun Capital. In the future, the company will strengthen the technology research and development of liquid flow batteries and implement them in specific scenarios (such as high safety requirements in oil fields, refineries, etc.).

　　Gaogong Lithium Battery stated that in 2023, liquid flow batteries, hydrogen storage batteries, and water-based batteries have received increasing attention and expectations. In 2024, the shipment volume of all vanadium flow batteries will exceed gigawatts for the first time, and the system price will be reduced to 2 yuan per watt hour.

　　From the perspective of potential lithium battery replacement technologies and the need to meet the different durations and functional roles of new power systems, Shi Yubo analyzed the development trend of new energy storage technologies: for solid-state lithium batteries, sodium ion batteries and other lithium battery replacement technologies, they can leverage the advantages of the existing lithium battery industry chain to enhance their innovation capabilities, accelerate the landing of achievements, and achieve rapid industrialization development; For other non lithium battery technologies, appropriate advanced layout should be carried out according to application needs, encouraging demonstration and verification in various demonstration projects and empirical bases, cultivating a group of technology companies with strong innovation capabilities and significant driving effects, and improving the agglomeration and development of energy storage technology industry chains in various sub fields.
