Re-examining rates of lithium-ion battery technology improvement and cost decline
Micah S. Ziegler, Jessika E. Trancik
Lithium-ion technologies are increasingly employed to electrify transportation and provide stationary energy storage for electrical grids, and as such their development has garnere…
Timelines for mitigating methane emissions from energy technologies
Mandira Roy, Morgan R. Edwards, Jessika E. Trancik
Energy technologies emitting differing proportions of methane and carbon dioxide vary in their relative climate impacts over time, due to the different atmospheric lifetimes of the…
Metals Production Requirements for Rapid Photovoltaics Deployment
Goksin Kavlak, James McNerney, Robert L. Jaffe +1
If global photovoltaics (PV) deployment grows rapidly, the required input materials need to be supplied at an increasing rate. In this paper, we quantify the effect of PV deploymen…
Determinants of the Pace of Global Innovation in Energy Technologies
Luis M. A. Bettencourt, Jessika E. Trancik, Jasleen Kaur
Understanding the factors driving innovation in energy technologies is of critical importance to mitigating climate change and addressing other energy-related global challenges. Lo…
The Role of Design Complexity in Technology Improvement
James McNerney, J. Doyne Farmer, Sid Redner +1
We study a simple model for the evolution of the cost (or more generally the performance) of a technology or production process. The technology can be decomposed into component…
