Description (excerpt):

The report consists of a lithium ion battery storage value chain analysis conducted by Lukas Brun, PhD, and Gary Gereffi, PhD, Duke University researchers. The study analyzed companies that currently work in the battery storage value chain in North Carolina, and companies that could potentially participate. These are businesses that work, at least in part, in the development, manufacturing, and operations of battery storage, or could in the future.

Battery storage is one of the fastest growing sectors of renewable energy and an important step toward a cleaner energy future. The technology has and will continue to become more important as the demand for wind and solar grows. Battery storage allows for the use of the energy produced by renewable sources around the clock.

North Carolina is primed for growth in this industry, both in installed capacity and in the development, manufacturing, and operation of new battery systems. This report focuses on the current and potential value chain for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems in North Carolina.
