Building a Resilient American Battery Supply Chain 

December 4, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 2:50 pm

Circuits | Day 1 - Strengthening American Supply Chains

The Department of Energy, led by the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) and the Loans Program Office (LPO), is catalyzing the development of America’s batteries supply chain. The combination of DOE investments and supportive policy from the Inflation Reduction Act has led to $180 billion of investment in the EV and Battery supply chain since 2001, creating 150,000 manufacturing jobs in the process.

Join this session to explore:

  • How are these actions part of America’s long term effort to reduce global reliance on Chinese supply chains?
  • What challenges lie ahead towards continued expansion of EV and battery supply chains?
  • How is the DOE building new tools and capabilities to meet them, and how can the private sector be a partner in this national effort?
