C-MACC Weekly Sustainability and Energy Transition Report
Batteries Included: Grid Storage Grows, Lithium Orders Can Lag
- 1st Topic of the Week: Grid storage can expand before lithium orders recover, leaving producers to weigh sustained growth in stationary batteries and electric vehicles against supply already under development.
- 2nd Topic of the Week: Shipping could open a new market for renewable ammonia if operators buy enough fuel at prices that justify capacity beyond what industrial customers already support.
- Additionally, Google funded utility equipment, recycled PP needs reorders, carbon storage supports valuations, 45Z cushions ethanol margins, and NuScale may owe milestone payments before module sales.
