The Roadmap outlines a Department-wide strategy to accelerate innovation across a range of storage technologies based on three concepts: Innovate Here, Make Here, Deploy Everywhere. The Roadmap includes an aggressive but achievable goal: to develop and domestically manufacture energy storage technologies that can meet all U.S. In addition to concerted research efforts, the Roadmap’s approach includes accelerating the transition of technologies from the lab to the marketplace, focusing on ways to competitively manufacture technologies at scale in the United States, and ensuring secure supply chains to enable domestic manufacturing. The Department reviewed the comments from stakeholders and made updates and modifications to the Roadmap based on this feedback.Īnnounced in January 2020 by DOE, the Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC) seeks to create and sustain American leadership in energy storage. DOE previously released a draft version of this Roadmap in July 2020 along with a Request for Information (RFI).
Department of Energy (DOE) released the Energy Storage Grand Challenge Roadmap, the Department’s first comprehensive energy storage strategy.
