Session One in AEIC’s “Partners in Ingenuity” series
Batteries are growing up?literally. Next-generation battery technologies are powering vehicles and connecting directly to the electric grid. As a result, international competition to develop and supply new battery technology has intensified in recent years. U.S. companies are fighting not just for market share, but also for technology leadership. What is the role of federal R&D investments, including the National Labs, in supporting U.S. competitiveness in next-generation battery technologies?
The Bipartisan Policy Center’s American Energy Innovation Council (AEIC) hosted a discussion on the linkages between federal R&D investment, next-generation battery technology development and U.S. business competitiveness.
The
