The Advanced Automotive Batteries Report 2014
M2 - Wed Jan 29, 9:57AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4l3lck/the_advanced) has announced the addition of the "The Advanced Automotive Batteries Report 2014" report to their offering. That vehicle electrification, and thus advanced battery development, is critical to reducing CO2 output through vehicle electrification is certain today. OEMs have explored a wide range of non-electrification options for improving fuel efficiency, including powertrain, drivetrain and mass reduction measures. However, without significant electrification the challenging CO2 regulation now being promulgated will drive OEMs out of the larger and luxury vehicle segments. Improvements in fuel efficiency become more costly to achieve, and the penalties OEMs are subject to will become particularly onerous. Dr Christian Mohrdieck at Daimler recently commented to SupplierBusiness that none of the major European OEMs would be able to avoid electrification, as well as other technologies such as fuel cells and bio-fuels if they are to retain the breadth of product range they have today. Without electrification they would be limited to small cars. This report looks at the key drivers of advanced battery technologies, including fuel economy, CO2 emissions, incentives for grid-connected vehicles and energy security. The value chain for automotive batteries is examined, looking at battery costs and variations and recharging infrastructure. The report then takes a detailed look at advanced automotive battery technologies, including the state of currently competing architectures such as lead acid batteries, nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lithium batteries, anode and cathode materials, super-capacitors and ultra-capacitors. Finally the report provides an overview of the market development and the lithium-ion value chain, looking at short term overcapacity, the value chain today and in the future, manufacturing issues, and the overall market dynamics. The report also includes an appendix of 28 supplier profiles from suppliers of automotive batteries. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction - The key to CO2 reduction - 48-volt architecture - Fundamental research requirements 2. Key drivers - Fuel economy and CO2 emissions - Incentives for grid-connected vehicles - The effect of fuel prices on demand - Energy security - Safety - Energy and power density - Material resources 3.

The Advanced Automotive Batteries Report 2014
M2 - Wed Jan 29, 9:57AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4l3lck/the_advanced) has announced the addition of the "The Advanced Automotive Batteries Report 2014" report to their offering. That vehicle electrification, and thus advanced battery development, is critical to reducing CO2 output through vehicle electrification is certain today. OEMs have explored a wide range of non-electrification options for improving fuel efficiency, including powertrain, drivetrain and mass reduction measures. However, without significant electrification the challenging CO2 regulation now being promulgated will drive OEMs out of the larger and luxury vehicle segments. Improvements in fuel efficiency become more costly to achieve, and the penalties OEMs are subject to will become particularly onerous. Dr Christian Mohrdieck at Daimler recently commented to SupplierBusiness that none of the major European OEMs would be able to avoid electrification, as well as other technologies such as fuel cells and bio-fuels if they are to retain the breadth of product range they have today. Without electrification they would be limited to small cars. This report looks at the key drivers of advanced battery technologies, including fuel economy, CO2 emissions, incentives for grid-connected vehicles and energy security. The value chain for automotive batteries is examined, looking at battery costs and variations and recharging infrastructure. The report then takes a detailed look at advanced automotive battery technologies, including the state of currently competing architectures such as lead acid batteries, nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lithium batteries, anode and cathode materials, super-capacitors and ultra-capacitors. Finally the report provides an overview of the market development and the lithium-ion value chain, looking at short term overcapacity, the value chain today and in the future, manufacturing issues, and the overall market dynamics. The report also includes an appendix of 28 supplier profiles from suppliers of automotive batteries. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction - The key to CO2 reduction - 48-volt architecture - Fundamental research requirements 2. Key drivers - Fuel economy and CO2 emissions - Incentives for grid-connected vehicles - The effect of fuel prices on demand - Energy security - Safety - Energy and power density - Material resources 3.

Global Batteries and Supercapacitors for the Smart Grid - 2013 Report
M2 - Thu Nov 14, 3:58AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qgnff3/batteries_and) has announced the addition of the "Global Batteries and Supercapacitors for the Smart Grid - 2013 Report" report to their offering. It is well known that energy storage is a vital component of the Smart Grids that are currently being built around the world. These grids are designed to improve the reliability of electricity transmission and distribution, facilitate the integration of renewable energy generators, and allow long-distance trading of electricity supplies. All of these functions require the grid to offer buffers where electricity can be stored locally. However, for the most part the technologies up to this task have not been available. Key Topics Covered: Executive Summary E.1 The need for storage in the smart grid E.2 Smart grid-related opportunities for battery and supercapacitor makers E.3 Smart grid storage-related opportunities for materials makers E.4 Key firms to watch in grid energy storage E.5 Summary of eight-year forecasts 1. Introduction 1.1 Background to this report 1.2 Objective and scope of this report 1.3 Methodology of this report 1.4 Plan of this report 2.
