Battery Technology and Cost Model
Plan strategically with analysis of Battery Technologies and Costs
The Energy Transition is driving unprecedented demand for batteries, with new chemistries emerging each year, aimed at reducing costs, improving performance, or both, staying informed is imperative to capitalise on emerging trends, navigate technological advancements effectively, manage procurement and risk and grow financially and strategically.
Data, insight and expertise
The regularly updated Model is powered by CRU’s deep understanding of raw materials and Exawatt’s unparalleled knowledge of battery technology.
Fully customisable
The Model is, a user-friendly online tool that enables analysis, comparisons, and forecasts for battery production costs and performance by technology, company, location, and raw material prices for hundreds of different batteries, including next-generation cells.
Run scenarios and compare technologies
Forecast interchangeable production costs and key performance metrics, including energy density, across different technologies. Rapidly run bottom-up, granular scenarios examining how changes in key inputs, including raw material prices, change final cell costs.
Flexibility
As an alternative to using the in-built specific battery technologies, the fully customisable online tool allows input of battery chemistries, cell formats, component attributes, production methods, plant sizes and locations.
