QUT faculty unveils new battery strategy

🔋Big moves in battery tech at #QUT! PM Anthony Albanese just launched the National Battery Strategy right here at QUT. This is huge for Australia’s clean energy game, and our role in it is key. The plan? Leverage the battery boom as the world goes net zero. We’re talking a fourfold demand spike by 2030, and we’re set to ride that wave. Our faculty's own Associate Professor Joshua Watts, PhD and Distinguished Professor Christopher Barner-Kowollik joined the big reveal, backing our nation’s bright battery future. “Australia is at the precipice of an incredible economic opportunity to supply the world with the commodities and products that are needed to meet the global clean energy transition while simultaneously fortifying our nation’s energy security,” says Professor Watts, director of the QUT Energy Storage Research Group. QUT has long been at the forefront of battery technology and is now ready to take full advantage of the massive opportunity that lies ahead of us. 📸 Pictured: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (from left) with Annika Wells, Associate Professor Joshua Watts
