Abstract

This report summarizes the needs, challenges, and opportunities associated with carbon - free energy and energy storage for manufacturing and industrial decarbonization. Energy needs and challenges for different manufacturing and industrial sectors (e.g., cement/steel production, chemicals, materials synthesis) are identified. Key issues for industry include the need for large, continuous on - site capacity (tens to hundreds of megawatts), compatibility with existing infrastructure, cost, and safety. Energy storage techn ologies that can potentially address these needs, which include electrochemical, thermal, and chemical energy storage , are presented along with key challenges, gaps, and integration issues. Analysis tools to value energy storage technologies in the context of manufacturing and industrial decarbonizations are also presented. Material is drawn from the Energy Storage for Manufacturing and Industrial Decarbonization (Energy StorM) Workshop , held February 8 ? 9, 2022. The objective was to identify research opportunities and needs for the U.S. Department of Energy as part of its Energy Storage Grand Challenge prog ram .
