Energy storage materials and applications in terms of electricity and heat storage processes to counteract peak demand-supply inconsistency are hot topics, on which many researchers are working nowadays.
This shows that the annual material demand (inflow) of the electricity sector is generally small compared to the current total global production for materials such as concrete, steel and glass, but for other materials such as copper and aluminium the electricity sector represents a considerable fraction of the total global demand.
This finding underscores the need to account for material supply availability in energy system modeling and planning. Future energy system transitions could substantially increase material demand, but material supply might lag, suggesting implications for the scale and pace of energy technology deployment.
Energy system design affects future material demand, with scenarios that deploy higher shares of wind and solar generation requiring larger quantities of material. Projected needs highlight the importance of proactive efforts to develop new mineral production, particularly considering the long lead times required to establish new supply chains.
Annual material demand for new power generation infrastructure was calculated by multiplying the total new capacity installed that year (new capacity added + replaced capacity) by the material intensities per unit capacity for each generation technology.
The material demand of the power sector in a model period can be quantified by multiplying the material intensity (Mt/EJ) to the annual electric energy output (EJ) from the technology new capacity addition in that model period.
