This report summarizes the results of a survey on battery education and public relations conducted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in FY 2024.
Toward realizing a decarbonized society, battery technology plays important roles across various fields including power grid stabilization, expanding introduction of renewable energy, and promoting electric vehicle adoption. However, understanding of batteries among general consumers and businesses is still not sufficient.
This survey examined effective education and public relations methods from basic battery knowledge to the latest technological trends. Information provision methods considering the characteristics of different target groups (general consumers, businesses, educational institutions, etc.), educational material development for promoting understanding, and optimization of public relations media were analyzed.
Additionally, the importance of accurate information dissemination regarding battery safety, recycling, and economic efficiency, as well as construction of continuous education systems responding to technological progress were also examined.
The survey results are expected to be utilized as important reference materials for future battery dissemination promotion policies and public relations activities of related industries.
