LONDON – In 2020, the $2.5 billion global high temperature energy storage (HTS) market, composed of such three categories as sodium-sulfur (NaS) batteries, sodium-metal halide (NaMx) batteries, and molten salt thermal energy storage (TES) systems, is going to be dominated by the sale and construction of molten salt storage systems for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. While NaS has been the strongest category ever since the first commercial systems were sold in 2003, it is molten salt TES systems that became the largest HTS category in 2010.

Updated research report “High Temperature Energy Storage: NaS, NaMx and Molten Salt” worked out by SBI provides true and unbiased insights into current and future markets for high temperature batteries and thermal storage worldwide, focusing on key countries for each market segment. The analysis includes definitions, current product offerings and details on the three market segments – NaS batteries, NaMx batteries and molten salt TES systems.
