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.
February, 2023
An action plan released by the Li-Bridge public-private alliance representing collaborative efforts by more than 40 companies, with 26 recommended actions.
February, 2022
Developed by DOE in response to Executive Order 14017 on America’s Supply Chains, the strategy summarizes the crucial elements of the energy supply chain, examines key technologies and crosscutting topics, and includes actions the U.S. government is employing or will soon employ to strengthen domestic clean energy supply chains.
February, 2022
Developed by DOE, as part of the response to the request in Executive Order 14017 “America’s Supply Chains” for a 1-year report, this report includes evaluations of supply chains.
February, 2022
A Fact Sheet on the larger report – “Grid Energy Storage: Supply Chain Deep Dive Assessment.”
June, 2021
Developed by FCAB, this document outlines a national blueprint to guide investments to put the U.S. on a path to long-term competitiveness in the global battery value chain.
