Further research is encouraged into innovation in storage, including bulk storage, advanced lithium-ion battery production chain and materials, phase-change materials and post-lithium-ion options for the post-2030 market.

Background

BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:
