History of Li-Bridge
- February 2021 – The Biden Administration issues an Executive Order on America’s Supply Chains
- June 2021 – The Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries (FCAB) – established to put the U.S. on a path to long-term competitiveness in the global battery value chain and led by the Departments of Energy, Defense, Commerce, and State – releases a National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries, 2021 – 2030, which serves as the 100-day report requested in the Executive Order.
- October 2021 – Li-Bridge is created as a U.S. public-private partnership to bridge the gaps across the domestic battery supply chain battery ecosystem
Who makes up Li-Bridge?
Li-Bridge is facilitated through a competitively-selected alliance with three U.S.-based convenor organizations – NAATBatt International, New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium (NY-BEST), and New Energy Nexus, – representing over 600 industry stakeholders across the high-capacity domestic battery ecosystem.
Many DOE National Laboratories support this effort, including Berkeley Lab, ANL (coordinator), BNL, INL, NREL, ORNL, and PNNL.
Li-Bridge is focused on bringing key stakeholders together to improve the lithium battery supply chain and marks the first collaboration of its kind in the US battery industry.
