Core Viewpoint - The development of new energy storage technologies in China is crucial for the transition to a renewable energy-based power system, necessitating financial support to overcome challenges such as high costs and technological uncertainties [1][2][3]. Group 1: New Energy Storage Technologies - China's energy storage technologies are characterized by a "multi-path, stage-differentiated" complementary pattern, with overall technological maturity still low, requiring increased financial investment for scaling [3][5]. - Energy storage technologies can be categorized into five main types: electrochemical, mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic, and chemical, each serving different needs within the new power system [3][5]. - The commercial viability of energy storage technologies is influenced by their performance characteristics and market mechanisms, with various business models available for revenue generation [3][5]. Group 2: Financial Support Mechanisms - The capital market can play a significant role in supporting the development of new energy storage technologies through strategic investments and diverse financing tools [6][7]. - Green finance tools can guide funds towards new energy storage projects, facilitating their expansion and integration into the renewable energy system [7][8]. - The collaboration between technology finance and green finance is essential for nurturing early-stage technologies and scaling them post-validation, creating a sustainable financial support system for new energy storage [9][12]. Group 3: Future Outlook - There is a need for enhanced financing support for early-stage technologies, with government and market mechanisms working together to attract more capital [13]. - The establishment of unified green finance standards is crucial for expanding the scale of green financing and improving project comparability and transparency [14]. - The development of a mature electricity market mechanism will clarify the economic value of energy storage, thereby increasing investment willingness [14].
