Reaching energy & climate targets hinges on scaling up batteries fast enough. More than half of emissions reductions needed rely on their use

Energy storage, led by batteries, needs to increase sixfold by 2030 to help meet the goals set at COP28 👉 iea.li/4dP5Z4V

The minerals needed to power clean energy transitions are getting cheaper, but it’s not all good news.

Lower mineral prices are benefitting consumers & affordability, but they’re also providing a headwind for new investment.
