Advanced lead batteries
As global warming continues to have a dramatic impact on the world’s climate, the imperative for decarbonization is greater than ever. Battery energy storage is a key pillar in the move to electrification and supporting innovation and performance improvements is the highest priority. Soaring demand for battery technologies across all applications has ushered in a golden age for batteries. From clean energy storage to hybrid and electric vehicles, demand for high-performing and sustainable batteries is driving research and development across the globe. Combining pioneering research with the latest market insights, the Consortium for Battery Innovation is leading the way by ensuring advanced lead batteries continue on their innovation journey to support ambitious climate goals set out by policy makers and provide the high-performing batteries needed by end-users.
Pioneering research
The requirements of customers are at the heart of the new research goals set out in the Consortium’s 2021 Technical Roadmap. Building on the ambitious goals set in 2019, the new areas for innovation identified by CBI membership in the Technical Roadmap will be used to develop future research programs and launch projects that will deliver the performance enhancements needed for advanced lead batteries.With continued performance improvement and technological advances, the opportunities for the global lead battery industry to provide sustainable, reliable and high-performing batteries to achieve global electrification and decarbonization targets are limitless.
