BloombergNEF found that lithium-ion battery pack prices fell to $137/kWh in 2020, with projected costs close to $100/kWh by 2023, and manufacturers like Tesla and CATL
These simple iron-air batteries store up to 100 hours of energy at a tenth the cost of a lithium battery farm. The big picture here is of course renewable energy. Solar, wind and other forms of green energy produce power as and when it's available, rather than when it's needed. Sometimes they may not produce much at all, for days at a time.
The new battery costs under $6 per kw/hour in its most basic form, and approximately $20 per kw/hour when outfitted as part of a total system—a price point. Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have invested. They have already forged deals with some utilities, such as Great River Energy in Minnesota.
Our first commercial product is an iron-air battery system that can cost-effectively store and discharge energy for up to 100 hours. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which can only provide energy for a few hours at a time due to their relatively high costs, iron-air batteries can deliver energy for multiple days at a time.
