Energy and transportation are major contributors to carbon emissions. Therefore, to achieve clean energy and electrification of transportation is an important guarantee for carbon neutrality. The invention and application of lithium-ion batteries make it possible for mankind to realize a society without fossil energy. This is the Nobel prize presentation speech.
At present, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in private cars, buses and logistics vehicles, and are realizing the replacement of mobile fossil energy. On this basis, the combination of electrification and intellectualization has gradually extended to the application fields of mines, ports, ships and so on, realizing the substitution of fossil energy for specific scenes. From the perspective of power generation, the cost of photovoltaic and wind power continues to decline, and is about to fully enter the stage of affordable Internet access and finally realize low-cost Internet access. The development of a high proportion of renewable energy provides a broad prospect for the application of lithium battery energy storage.
Looking further, in the next five years, the lithium battery industry market will usher in a blowout period and quickly enter the TWH era. Efficient and high-quality delivery is an important core competitiveness. Recently, SNE, an authoritative organization, released the statistics of global lithium batteries in 2020: although affected by the epidemic, the installed capacity of global power batteries in 2020 still reached 137gwh, maintaining a 17% growth.
From 2021, the global lithium battery market demand will be significantly increased. As a green, durable and widely used scientific and technological product, lithium battery will rush to a higher peak and have a broader market.
