Foreign policies and regulations on energy storage batteries

Can international battery policies be benchmarked?

In this context, an international comparison between the different battery policy strategies of the leading countries is helpful – and now part of a new Fraunhofer ISI study entitled »Benchmarking International Battery Policies«.

Should battery energy storage be developed?

Some countries have been developing battery energy storage for a long time, and it is worthwhile to learn from the policies and market mechanisms for the development of battery energy storage to clear the obstacles for large-scale development and participation in the power market.

Are countries adapting their political strategies for battery technology?

Countries worldwide are renewing or adapting their political strategies for battery technologies. In this context, a new Fraunhofer ISI report is analysing the different battery policies and targets with focus on three fields of battery technology research: Lithium-ion, solid-state, and alternative batteries.

What is the EU's Battery policy?

The EU ’s overall battery policy can be described as supply sided, but includes some demand-side elements regarding the end of the value chain with respect to Electric Vehicle purchasing.

What is the EU Battery passport?

The EU Battery Passport is a critical component of the EU Battery Regulation (Regulation 2023/1542), which is one of the first and most comprehensive regulations for batteries globally, and has been a cornerstone of the current EV industry regulatory changes. This regulation came into force on 17 August 2023 and is effective from February 18, 2024.

Can a battery passport create a circular battery supply chain?

The Global Battery Alliance (GBA) together with the World Economic Forum, in their vision published in 2019, suggested that Battery Passport creation will help to create a circular battery supply chain. Since then, the GBA has led one of the initiatives to develop a prototype.
