DOE releases national battery strategy and launches Battery Manufacturing Accelerator

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has released a national battery strategy and launched the Battery Manufacturing Accelerator (BattMan), a consortium intended to strengthen domestic battery manufacturing and supply chains.

The strategy sets DOE's priorities: building a fully integrated domestic battery supply chain by 2030, achieving US leadership in battery technology and manufacturing by 2035 and accelerating the commercialization of energy storage. According to DOE, US battery demand across transportation and energy-storage applications is projected to nearly quadruple, from 179 GWh in 2025 to 707 GWh in 2035.

BattMan is designed to lower manufacturing costs, speed the transition of new battery technologies from laboratory discovery to manufacturing deployment and develop battery materials made from more abundant domestic elements. The accelerator's work will use "Super Intelligence" and manufacturing capabilities to identify challenges earlier and improve production processes.

BattMan is led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and supported by the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office in DOE's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation. Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Laboratory of the Rockies are partners, along with five universities. Organizations interested in collaborating can find details on the BattMan site.

"From transportation and power grids to medical devices and consumer electronics, batteries are essential to modern life," said Audrey Robertson, Assistant Secretary of Energy.
