A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY

Executive Order 14008, “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,” January 27, 2021.
The Biden Administration has laid out a bold agenda to
address the climate crisis and build a clean and equitable
energy economy that achieves carbon-pollution-free
electricity by 2035, and puts the United States on a path
to achieve net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by no later
than 2050
1
to the benet of all Americans.
Lithium-based batteries power our daily lives from consumer
electronics to national defense. They enable electrication of
the transportation sector and provide stationary grid storage,
critical to developing the clean-energy economy. The U.S. has
a strong research community, a robust innovation infrastructure
for technological advancement of batteries, and an emerging
lithium-based, battery manufacturing industry.
Establishing a domestic supply chain for lithium-based batteries
requires a national commitment to both solving breakthrough
scientic challenges for new materials and developing a
manufacturing base that meets the demands of the growing
electric vehicle (EV) and stationary grid storage markets.
This National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries, developed by
the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries will help guide
investments to develop a domestic lithium-battery manufacturing
value chain that creates equitable clean-energy manufacturing
jobs in America while helping to mitigate climate change impacts.
Signed,
Jennifer M. Granholm
