摘要

預計2026年至2046年間,電能儲存市場規模將成長三倍以上。特別是無電池儲能,預計將呈指數級成長,達到驚人的4,100億美元,市場佔有率將從20%成長至約40%。

電池市場預計在未來20年內達到飽和。這主要是由於激烈的價格競爭、電動車市場(最大的應用領域)成長放緩,以及無法滿足重要且快速成長的新興市場的需求,例如電網、資料中心和微電網的長期儲能,以及電磁武器和核融合發電等脈衝功率應用。無電池儲能技術在新興應用中具有更高的安全性、顯著延長的使用壽命和更低的平準化儲能成本(LCOS)。光是抽水蓄能發電一項,每年就已創造超過 500億美元的收入。

此外,完全無需儲能的新型系統崛起,成為一個價值數十億美元的新興市場。例如,計畫中的第六代(6G)第二階段將採用反向散射技術為客戶端設備供電,而穿戴式裝置將採用多模式能量採集技術。

本報告深入分析了無電池技術市場,並全面概述了市場背景、電池面臨的挑戰和無電池設備的發展趨勢、電池儲能設備與非電池儲能設備的市場規模趨勢和預測、主要無電池技術的概述、研發趨勢、關鍵企業舉措以及企業簡介。

Summary

From 2026-2046, the electrical energy storage market will more than triple but the battery-less storage part will surge to a massive $410 billion - about 40% from 20% today. Time to look beyond batteries. On cue we have the new Zhar Research 546-page report, "Battery Elimination Creates Large New Markets 2026-2046" detailing this massive opportunity.

Within 20 years the battery value market will saturate due to vicious price wars, the largest application - electric cars - levelling and the inability of batteries to perform to the requirements of important new, fast-growing markets. These include months of grid, data center and microgrid storage, and pulsing new electromagnetic weapons and nuclear fusion power. Increasingly, batteryless storage is safer, with much longer life and able to provide lower Levelised Cost of Storage LCOS in the growth applications. Already, pumped hydro alone sells at over $50 billion yearly.

Another emerging multi-billion-dollar market will be for new systems that eliminate energy storage completely, such as planned 6G Communications Phase Two using backscatter for client devices. Wearables adopt multi-mode energy harvesting. Uniquely, this report appraises the commercial opportunity for all this with 133 company batteryless activity profiles.

The Executive Summary and Conclusions (58 pages) is sufficient for those with limited time. Here are the basics, methodology, key conclusions, technology comparisons, ongoing battery limitations, emerging large batteryless applications, 12 SWOT appraisals of the toolkit and 35 forecasts as tables and graphs with explanation. The Introduction (36 pages) details energy fundamentals, ongoing battery limitations. Understand why batteries will retain the dominant share of energy storage value markets 2026-2046 but lose share rapidly. Grasp emerging applications that batteries poorly address such as coping with long intermittency of wind and solar power everywhere. See the performance parameters of current batteryless solutions against batteries.

The rest of the report presents a through investigation of escape routes from batteries and sometimes from all energy storage. Specific batteryless technologies are detailed including research advances through 2025-6. The 78 pages of Chapter 3 closely examine "Escape routes from batteries: backscatter (EAS, RFID, 6G SWIPT), battery elimination circuits, other electronics options, LDES escape routes". Understand increasing deployment of escape routes from batteries and energy storage generally and the heroic future plans. The largest deployment of electronics in numbers is passive RFID tags and their subset anti-theft tags, none with energy storage. Next, their backscatter principle will be applied to 6G Communications client devices such as internet of things IOT tags also in tens of billions of units. See how the intermittency of wind and solar power can be sometimes tolerated and other times reduced without storage.

Chapter 4. Pumped hydro: conventional PHES and advanced APHES (74 pages) presents what is already selling at over $50 billion yearly, the improvements ahead including avoiding the need for mountainsides and the use of seawater. Realise that this takes the batteryless opportunity beyond massive grid storage to smaller applications. See the activities and intentions of key companies involved and 2025-6 research papers.

Chapter 5. Solid gravity energy storage SGES (37 pages) involves lifting weights instead of water as an improvement on grid batteries. Invented in Europe, it is most energetically pursued in China, initially as many huge buildings providing hours of grid storage but potentially even seasonal. See latest research and structures and the ongoing work on variants, including company profiles of use in mines in Europe and Australia.

Chapter 6. Compressed air energy storage CAES has 64 pages because there are ten companies profiled and widespread use worldwide mainly in huge underground caverns for hours of duration and potentially months (beyond batteries). So far, CAES is the strongest pumped hydro competitor. Contrast Chapter 7. Thermal energy storage for delayed electricity ETES where only four companies can be profiled and lessons of a number of exits are presented. Some new proponents have pivoted to combined heat and power or to thermovoltaic versions with white heat. Understand one large commercial version of ETES in Alaska using heat pumps.

Chapter 8. Hydrogen and other chemical intermediary LDES explains how use of intermediary chemical production and then converting it all back to electricity is very inefficient but hydrogen is more attractive than other gases for this. Enthusiasm for the Hydrogen Economy meets serious challenges of safety, leaking through everything and indirectly causing global warming. Use in salt caverns is strongly advocated by the Royal Society in the UK and many other eminent bodies because it can delay the most GWh, they say even seasonally. However, large H2ES projects are not being funded beyond China on hydrogen generally with electricity-to-electricity as a back story. See the small microgrid application in the USA using overground tanks for 24-hour duration and future plans.

Primary author and CEO of Zhar Research Dr Peter Harrop advises, "From all this it is clear that batteries are losing the extremes of grid storage and pulse/ fast charge-discharge applications so the report ends with the latter toolkit - essentially supercapacitors and their variants - in detail."

Chapter 9. "Electrostatic storage: Supercapacitors, pseudocapacitors, lithium-ion capacitors, other BSH" is the longest chapter at 118 pages because 103 companies are profiled plus a deep dive into the strongly emerging needs including massive banks pulsing nuclear fusion power. Sections cover aircraft and aerospace; electric vehicles: AGV, material handling, car, truck, bus, tram, train; grid, microgrid, peak shaving, renewable energy, uninterrupted power supplies, medical and wearables. Importantly see military: laser cannon, railgun, pulsed linear accelerator weapon, radar, trucks, other pulse-power electronics, data center instant emergency power, welding, pulse metal forming. Since most of the big applications emerge late in the 2026-2046 timeframe, the forecasts only take this to around $14 billion. Add a minor part of the regular capacitor business of around $70 billion at that time. However, there is considerable upside potential on these forecasts.

The new Zhar Research 548-page report, "Battery Elimination Creates Large New Markets 2026-2046" is your essential source of opportunities and latest research in this exciting emerging business serving the future - from nuclear fusion power to AI data centers, smart grids and microgrids.
