By establishing local gigafactories, automakers, and battery manufacturers can reduce supply chain dependencies, ensure a stable and timely supply of batteries, and potentially benefit from government incentives and regulations that promote domestic battery production.
Advances in battery technology have made batteries a key component for the sustainable travel of the future. The energy stored in these batteries on wheels can be used to actually power your home and to help stabilise the grid.
One major barrier to building more of these battery farms is finding enough vanadium. Three-quarters of the world’s supply comes as a by-product from 10 steel mills in China and Russia, according to Rodby, who got her PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studying the design and market for flow batteries.
Today there are about 34 battery factories either planned, under construction or operational in the country. U.S. President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), signed into law August 16, 2022, might not have been the initial catalyst behind the onshoring battery factory trend.
Producing battery cells locally compared to China on average saves 20-40% of carbon emissions, while onshoring cathode production would save up to a fifth additionally.
Recycling battery components is extremely important, both from a materials standpoint and an environmental one. Not only do we use and reuse the battery itself by charging and discharging it, at the end of its life it can be taken apart and the components recycled to make new batteries.
