Create a central program management ofice to monitor and coordinate execution of the recommendations and to report progress on the development of the domestic lithium battery supply chain periodically to the federal government and coordinate collaboration with allies.
The U.S. government must take actions to enhance the expected returns on financial investments in U.S.‐based lithium battery supply chain‐related projects (e.g., battery materials, components, cells, or manufacturing equipment) and reduce the perception of demand uncertainty in the U.S. battery market.
The past year has seen many policy developments with implications for the U.S. lithium battery supply chain. The most significant are two laws, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA). The provisions of these two laws align with many of the recommendations made in this report.
To protect U.S. security and critical interests on several fronts, the U.S. government must act immediately to support the timely development of a North American lithium battery supply chain based on U.S. know-how and free from the threat of foreign supply constraints. III. The Li-Bridge Initiative
According to the report, the U.S. will not achieve complete lithium battery supply chain independence by 2030, but it estimates the country can capture 60% of the economic value consumed by domestic demand for lithium batteries by that year, generating $33 billion in revenues and creating 100,000 jobs.
The IRA, particularly via tax incentives, should significantly improve the attractiveness of investments in the lithium battery supply chain. But more must be done to encourage investments that localize production and lithium battery manufacturing know-how in the United States.
Circular economy conceptualization for lithium-ion batteries
The value of Li-ion batteries as the energy storage devices is demonstrated by their ongoing rise in their production rate and market share.
