The U.S. has fallen behind on the battery production curve. Integral to completing a domestic battery supply chain capable of meeting the energy storage demands of a decarbonized economy is the need for a strategy leading to U.S. gigafactories churning out next-gen batteries. This will bring clean energy manufacturing jobs and stimulate the demand signal for the rest of the domestic supply chain, from the extraction of lithium and up the value chain. This panel will discuss projected demand, current and future gigafactory construction plans worldwide, the challenges of scale up, and needed regional-to-federal partnerships and policies across industry, manufacturing, the research ecosystem, and finance.
Moderator:
Kelsey Tamborrino, Energy Reporter at POLITICO
Panelists:
Ilka von Dalwigk, Policy Manager at InnoEnergy and European Battery Alliance
Robert H. Edwards, Jr., Director of Outreach and Business Development for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office
Monica Gorman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Manufacturing in the U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration
Landon Mossburg, President of Northvolt America

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.
