E ai ki ngā pūrongo pāpāho o tāwāhi, kei te whakamahere te Tari Pūngao o Amerika (DOE) ki te whakarato i te $30 miriona hei whakatenatena me te pūtea ki ngā kaiwhakawhanake mō te whakatinanatanga o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao, nā te mea e tumanako ana rātou ki te whakaiti i te utu o te whakatinanatanga o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao.
Ko te pūtea, e whakahaerehia ana e te Tari Hiko (OE) o te Tari Whakahaere Hiko, ka wehea kia rua ngā pūtea ōrite, $15 miriona ia pūtea. Ka tautokohia e tētahi o ngā pūtea te rangahau hei whakapai ake i te pono o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao roa (LDES), ka taea te whakarato pūngao mō te iti rawa 10 hāora. Ka whakaratohia e tētahi atu pūtea he pūtea mō te Kaupapa Whakaaturanga Whakahaere Tere o te Tari Hiko (OE) o te Tari Pūngao o Amerika, he mea hanga hei putea tere mō ngā whakatinanatanga rokiroki pūngao hou.
I te marama o Poutū-te-rangi o tēnei tau, i oati te kaupapa ki te whakarato i te $2 miriona hei putea ki ngā taiwhanga ā-motu e ono o te Tari Pūngao o Amerika hei āwhina i ēnei whare rangahau ki te whakahaere rangahau, ā, mā te putea hou e $15 miriona ka taea te āwhina i te tere ake o te rangahau mō ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao pākahiko.
Ko te haurua tuarua o te pūtea a te DOE ka tautoko i ētahi pūnaha rokiroki pūngao kei ngā wāhanga tōmua o te rangahau me te whanaketanga, ā, kāore anō kia rite mō te whakatinanatanga arumoni.
Whakatereterehia te whakatinanatanga o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao
I mea atu a Gene Rodrigues, te Hēkeretari Tuarua mō te Hiko i te Tari Pūngao o Amerika: "Mā te wātea mai o ēnei pūtea ka tere ake te whakatinanatanga o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao ā muri ake nei, ā, ka whakaratohia he otinga utu-whai hua hei whakatutuki i ngā hiahia hiko a ngā kiritaki. Koinei te hua o te mahi uaua a te umanga rokiroki pūngao." , kei te anga whakamua te umanga ki te whakatairanga i te whanaketanga o te rokiroki pūngao roa-roa hou.
Ahakoa kāore te Tari Pūngao o Amerika i whakapuaki ko wai ngā kaiwhakawhanake, ko wai rānei ngā kaupapa rokiroki pūngao ka whiwhi i te pūtea, ka mahi ngā kaupapa nei ki te whakatutuki i ngā whāinga 2030 i whakatakotoria e te Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC), tae atu ki ētahi o ngā whāinga a Target.
I whakarewahia te ESGC i te Hakihea 2020. Ko te whāinga o te wero he whakaiti i te utu taurite o te rokiroki pūngao mō ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao roa mā te 90% i waenga i te tau 2020 me te 2030, ka heke iho ngā utu hiko ki te $0.05/kWh. Ko tana whāinga he whakaiti i te utu whakaputa o te pākahiko EV 300-kiromita te roa mā te 44% i roto i te wā, ka heke iho te utu ki te $80/kWh.
Kua whakamahia te pūtea mai i te ESGC hei tautoko i ētahi kaupapa rokiroki pūngao, tae atu ki te "Grid Energy Storage Launchpad" e hangaia ana e te Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) me te $75 miriona i roto i te pūtea a te kāwanatanga. Ko te putea hou ka whakamahia ki ngā kaupapa rangahau me te whanaketanga nui rite tonu.
Kua whakatapua hoki e te ESGC te $17.9 miriona ki ngā kamupene e whā, arā, a Largo Clean Energy, a TreadStone Technologies, a OTORO Energy me Quino Energy, hei whakawhanake i ngā tukanga rangahau me te hanga hou mō te rokiroki pūngao.
Te whanaketanga o te umanga rokiroki pūngao i te Hononga o Amerika
I te Huihuinga ESGC i Atlanta, i pānuitia e te Tari Whakahaere Pūnaha (DOE) ēnei whai wāhitanga pūtea hou. I kī anō te Tari Whakahaere Pūnaha (DOE) ka noho ko te Pacific Northwest National Laboratory me te Argonne National Laboratory hei kaiwhakahaere kaupapa ESGC mō ngā tau e rua e whai ake nei. Mā te Tari Hiko (OE) o te Tari Whakahaere Pūngao me te Pūngao Whakahou o te Tari Whakahaere Pūngao e whakarato he $300,000 hei utu i te utu o te kaupapa ESGC tae noa ki te mutunga o te tau pūtea 2024.
Kua tino manakohia te pūtea hou e ētahi wāhanga o te umanga taonga o te ao, me te kī a Andrew Green, te kaiwhakahaere matua o te International Zinc Association (IZA), i harikoa ia ki te rongo.
"E harikoa ana te International Zinc Association ki te kite i te US Department of Energy e pānui ana i ngā haumitanga hou nui ki te rokiroki pūngao," te kī a Green, me te kite i te pikinga ake o te hiahia ki te konutea hei wāhanga o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pākahiko. I mea ia, "E harikoa ana mātou mō ngā whai wāhitanga ka kawea mai e ngā pākahiko konutea ki te umanga. Kei te tumanako mātou ki te mahi tahi ki te aro atu ki ēnei kaupapa hou mā te kaupapa pākahiko konutea."
I whai ake ngā purongo i te pikinga nui o te kaha tāuta o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pākahiko i whakatinanahia ki te United States i ngā tau tata nei. E ai ki ngā raraunga i tukuna e te US Energy Information Administration, kua piki ake te kaha tāuta katoa o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao pākahiko nui i te United States mai i te 149.6MW i te tau 2012 ki te 8.8GW i te tau 2022. Kei te tere haere hoki te tere o te tipu, me te 4.9GW o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao i whakatinanahia i te tau 2022 tata ki te rua i te tau o mua.
He mea nui pea te pūtea a te kāwanatanga o Amerika ki te whakatutuki i ana whāinga nui mō te whakatinanatanga o te rokiroki pūngao, e pā ana ki te whakanui ake i te kaha kua tāutahia o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao i te United States me te whakawhanake i ngā hangarau rokiroki pūngao roa. I te Whiringa-ā-rangi kua taha ake nei, i whakapuakina motuhake e te Tari Pūngao o Amerika he $350 miriona te pūtea mō ngā kaupapa rokiroki pūngao roa, e whai ana ki te whakatenatena i te auahatanga i roto i tēnei mara.
