Megatrends and their impact on the energy future from the perspective of electrochemical storage

Together with national battery experts from science and industry Fraunhofer ISI has developed battery roadmaps for lithium ion batteries, energy storage for electric mobility and stationary storage systems from a German/ European perspective. Combined with results of international monitoring and benchmarking studies the paper provides an outlook of the technical, economical and political developments for electrochemical storage with focus on Lithium-Ion batteries, future scenarios and expected impacts through 2020, 2030 and beyond.
