Responsible and sustainable domestic sourcing and processing of the critical
materials used to make lithium-ion batteries will strengthen American supply
chains, accelerate battery production to meet increased demand, and secure the
nation's economic competitiveness, energy independence, and national security.
The funding announced today by the Department of Energy is the first phase of
over $7 billion in total provided by the President's Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law for the battery supply chain. DOE's Office of Manufacturing and Energy
Supply Chains (MESC) (
) is responsible for strengthening and securing manufacturing and energy supply
chains needed to modernize the nation's energy infrastructure and support a
clean and equitable energy transition. MESC will manage the portfolio of
projects with support from DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy's Vehicle Technologies Office (
).
"We are appreciative of President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
supporting the domestic growth of ENTEK's lithium battery separator production.
This support for our domestic supply chain and investment in our U.S.
manufacturing infrastructure ensures that we are prepared to supply critical
U.S. produced components to U.S. lithium battery manufactures. Together, we are
all dedicated to the rapid and sustainable growth of the U.S. electric vehicle
market and supporting grid," stated Kimberly Medford, President ENTEK
Manufacturing.
"This is truly a remarkable time for manufacturing in America, as President
Biden's Agenda and historic investments supercharge the private sector to
ensure our clean energy future is American-made," said U.S. Secretary of Energy
Jennifer M. Granholm. "Producing advanced batteries and components here at home
will accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels to meet the strong demand
for electric vehicles, creating more good-paying jobs across the country."
