A discussion with:
The Honorable Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Energy, U.S. Department of Energy
& Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors
Moderated by Noël Bakhtian, Executive Director of the Berkeley Lab Energy Storage Center
Energy storage holds the key to transitioning to a decarbonized economy, and the batteries of today, while ubiquitous, cannot get us there. We need to innovate battery R&D, jumpstart domestic battery manufacturing, and encourage widespread deployment to meet our clean energy goals. Is there a shared vision between the federal government and industry on what success looks like for the U.S. with regards to battery R&D, supply chains, production, and deployment? What will a robust domestic battery manufacturing capability mean for our nation’s economic and national security? Can we leverage public-private partnerships for success? What are the major milestones we need to hit in order to be successful and the top challenges to getting there?

Event Description: From the National Energy Storage Summit, March 8-9, 2022 - This two-day virtual public summit connected 2,000+ national and regional thought leaders across industry, government, the research ecosystem, communities, policy-makers, and the financial sector to catalyze solutions and partnerships around specific challenges to America’s energy storage future.
Day 1: America’s Battery Production Revolution: From Resource to Recharge
America is falling behind on the battery production curve, with implications to both national and economic security. Day 1 focused on leveraging policy, science, and technical innovations across materials, supply chains, and production processes to revolutionize a domestic battery ecosystem and realize America’s full potential, including creating equitable clean-energy jobs in the U.S.
