The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced an investment of $25 million across 11 projects to advance materials, processes, machines, and equipment for domestic manufacturing of next-generation batteries. These projects will advance platform technologies upon which battery manufacturing capabilities can be built, enabling flexible, scalable, and highly controllable battery manufacturing processes.
Batteries are critical for the next-generation technologies that will enhance energy affordability and increase America’s overall energy security and independence. For grid storage, these innovations will advance the resilience of homes and businesses, the electrification of the transportation sector, and the success of the domestic industrial manufacturing sector.
“For decades, America has been a leader in battery innovation, and under the Biden-Harris Administration we’ve built a foundation to keep this momentum growing into the next generation,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “The projects announced build on this success, enhancing our national security while delivering jobs for American workers for decades more to come.”
