Australia has a new National Battery Strategy, unveiled last week as a key part of the government’s Future Made in Australia agenda. The vision is for this country to be making batteries with secure supply chains by 2035.
It makes perfect sense for Australia to pursue domestic battery manufacturing.
Australia has all the ingredients needed to create a booming battery industry: abundant minerals, a strong resource sector, renewable energy resources, manufacturing know-how, trading partners and a skilled workforce. Now it’s time to get cooking.
But building a thriving national battery supply chain and local manufacturing industry won’t happen overnight. While new money is important for any new industry, what’s been missing is overarching government coordination.
