  Increasing investment in renewable energy to drive market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for sodium sulfur battery is being driven by the Increasing investment in renewable energy. Electric utilities are working to connect homes that are insufficiently linked to the grid with stand-alone grids that are engaged in small-scale electrical generation of 10 kW to 10 MW and are typically deployed in rural areas, in order to provide these homes with a dependable and quick source of electricity. As the government strives to raise electricity costs in Southeast Asian countries, such forms of power generation and delivery are becoming more popular. Furthermore, the vast majority of electricity is created using renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydropower. The energy storage device is a critical component of any isolated grid. As a result, businesses are increasingly turning to battery storage as an alternate energy storage option.

The rising need for energy storage solutions in distant and island areas is propelling the Sodium Sulphur Battery Market upward. Remote and island populations frequently rely on diesel generators for energy, which are costly, dirty, and unreliable. For distant and island communities, sodium sulphur batteries provide a dependable and cost-effective energy storage solution, allowing them to minimize their reliance on diesel generators and migrate to renewable energy sources.

As an example, In Alaska, the state government has enacted rules and regulations to encourage the use of renewable energy systems in distant towns that are frequently not connected to the state's electrical grid. Sodium sulphur batteries are well-suited for usage in these communities because they can store excess energy generated by wind turbines and solar panels for use during low-energy production seasons.

Sodium sulphur batteries are also being used by island populations throughout the world to lessen their reliance on fossil fuels and shift to renewable energy sources. For example, the Scottish island of Eigg has developed a renewable energy system powered by wind turbines, solar panels, and sodium sulphur batteries, reducing its dependency on diesel generators and lowering its carbon footprint dramatically.

Furthermore, the growing popularity of electric vehicles is propelling the Market forward. Because of their high power density and fast charging characteristics, sodium sulphur batteries are ideal for use in electric vehicles. Sodium sulphur batteries also have a long cycle life and can function at high temperatures, making them a dependable and effective energy storage choice for electric vehicles.

For instance, Electric car use is quickly expanding in Japan, thanks to government incentives and restrictions. The Japanese government has set a goal of selling 100% electric vehicles by 2030, which is projected to stimulate demand for sodium sulphur batteries in the country. Furthermore, the Chinese government has developed laws and regulations to encourage the usage of electric vehicles, which is projected to fuel the growth of the Sodium Sulphur Battery Market in the future years.

Sodium Sulfur Battery Industry Developments

January 2024

Stellantis Ventures, Stellantis N.V.'s corporate venture fund, announced today its strategic investment in Tiamat, a France-based business developing and commercializing sodium-ion battery technology.

Sodium-ion technology has a cheaper cost per kilowatt-hour and is free of lithium and cobalt. The abundance of salt provides advantages in terms of sustainability and material sovereignty

Tiamat was one of 11 top-performing technological start-ups recognized with a Stellantis Ventures Award in 2023, and it is the first firm in the world to have recently implemented sodium-ion technology in an electric product.

The investment furthers Stellantis' objective to deliver clean, safe, and cheap transportation to clients worldwide. Sodium-ion technology has the potential to provide more cost-effective energy storage than today's commonly utilized lithium-ion battery technology.

The transition to electric propulsion is a significant component of the Dare Forward 2030 strategy plan. It entails achieving a 100% passenger car battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales mix in Europe and a 50% passenger car and light-duty truck BEV sales mix in the United States by 2030. Stellantis plans to secure about 400 GWh of battery capacity in order to meet these sales ambitions. Stellantis is on target to become a carbon net zero firm by 2038, across all scopes, with single-digit percentage compensation for residual emissions.

Stellantis has signed major partnerships throughout the globe to assure EV raw material supply until 2027, therefore supporting that aim. Stellantis is also investing in alternative energy storage technologies, such as solid-state batteries with Factorial Energy, lithium-sulfur chemistry with Lyten Inc., and sodium-ion with Tiamat.

Tiamat is a spin-off of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), which is utilizing its world-class technologies. The company plans to use the proceeds from the fundraising round, which includes Stellantis Ventures, to build a sodium-ion battery plant in France for power tools and stationary storage applications first, before scaling up production of second-generation products for BEV applications.

May 2022, GE Electric has unveiled Lifespan, a new renewable energy digital suite that allows users to improve the performance and operations of renewable assets across the area. It will also help operators engage with the critical insights required to effectively take action across all aspects of their company.

November 2021, NGK Insulators, Ltd. worked with Ricoh Company, Ltd. on a pilot project to track the full renewable energy process, from generation to consumption. This also includes the charging and discharging of excess produced electricity in sodium-sulfur batteries used to store electricity.

October 2021, BASF New Business (BNB) installed battery storage consisting of four NAS battery containers connected to the power grid at BASF's Verbund site in Antwerp, Belgium.
