- The U.S. Department of Energy’s(DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO)supports research, development (R&D), and deployment of efficient and sustainable transportation technologies that will improve energy efficiency, fuel economy, and enable America to use less petroleum. To accelerate the development and adoption of new technologies, VTO has developed specific targets for a wide range of powertrain components, including energy storage system. In this study, Autonomie, Argonne’s vehicle system simulation is used to evaluate future energy storage requirements (i.e., power, energy, etc.) for different vehicle classes, powertrains, component technologies and timeframe. BatPaC, Argonne’s tool dedicated to energy storage pack design and cost, is then used to quantify the materials required for each pack. Market penetrations are then used to estimate the overall material demand worldwide and in the US, with or without recycling. Results demonstrate the positive impact of VTO R&D leading to significant reduction in material due to new anode and cathode design.
