As EV adoption grows in the U.S., there is increasing demand for critical minerals to develop lithium-ion batteries—many which are sourced from China. The U.S. lacks a strong domestic supply of these essential materials, creating a need for alternative battery technologies that reduce reliance on foreign-sourced minerals.

During this webinar CarbonScape, a New Zealand-based company, will presents its proprietary technology that transforms biomass feedstock into biographite, a sustainable alternative to conventional graphite used in lithium-ion batteries. CarbonScape will highlight how this innovative solution to strengthen domestic battery manufacturing can help lower production costs, decrease emissions, and create new jobs and economic opportunities across the U.S. This discussion will also explore how State Energy Offices and other key stakeholders can support the growth of domestic battery supply chains through strategic partnerships, supportive polices, and targeted programs. Please register here and reach out to Delaney Dixon (ddixon@naseo.org) with any questions.
