Renowned Battery Expert Dr. Christina Lampe-Onnerud Will Also Deliver Session on Catalyzing the Domestic Manufacturing Supply Chain at AABC

 DANBURY, Conn., December 3, 2024 – Cadenza Innovation, committed to transforming energy storage for the grid, electric vehicle (EV), and commercial and industrial (C&I) markets, today announced that Founder and CEO Dr. Christina Lampe-Onnerud will lead the closing panel examining post-election EV market opportunities and challenges at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC).

The session comes on the heels of what is widely considered the most critical U.S. presidential election and subsequent change of administrations affecting U.S. energy policy. Featuring top executives from domestic and internationally based private and public sector organizations, topics will include investments in the global supply chain, tariffs and how those could affect the EV market, and changes that may lay ahead for the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and related U.S. funding programs.

Dr. Lampe-Onnerud will also deliver a separate presentation on strengthening the U.S. battery supply chain at AABC, which takes place next week at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

According to a recent Bain & Company report, EV growth will quadruple global battery demand by 2030. Notably, the global consultancy stated that “lithium-ion batteries have dominated the global EV battery market and will continue to do so.” Moreover, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence cites that the lithium-ion battery supply chain has scaled at an unprecedented rate during the past decade, entering the terawatt hour era for the first time in 2023.

Recognized for more than 25 years of developing and commercializing lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, Dr. Lampe-Onnerud is a highly sought-after speaker on topics ranging from energy storage, battery safety, energy transition, climate change and cleantech to new financial and partnering models and women entrepreneurship. An internationally respected battery industry thought leader who holds more than 80 patents, Dr. Lampe-Onnerud served as a chair of Li-Bridge, a public-private alliance convened by the U.S. Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory to accelerate the development of a robust and secure domestic supply chain for lithium-based batteries.

Founded more than 20 years ago, AABC showcases the current state of automotive battery technology and provides informed glimpses into the future. Featuring insightful presentations by leading battery technologists, the conference program uncovers the underlying technical and business issues that will impact the pace and path of vehicle electrification worldwide.

• “Building a (Li-)Bridge: Revolutionizing the U.S. Battery Supply Chain”

Wednesday, December 11, 2:50 p.m. PST

Summary: Li-Bridge has outlined steps for the U.S. to double annual lithium battery revenues to $33 billion and provide 100,000 jobs by 2030. An industry-first battery collaboration, Li-Bridge delivered its action plan in the report, “Building a Robust and Resilient U.S. Lithium Battery Supply Chain,” which includes 26 recommended actions to bolster the domestic lithium battery industry. In this session, Dr. Lampe-Onnerud will review the report’s findings, the progress, milestones and challenges since its publication, and the implications of the historic IRA – which represents the largest-ever investment in domestic clean energy production and manufacturing to address the climate crisis – on the Li-Bridge initiative.

• “Panel Discussion: U.S. Post-Election EV Landscape: Opportunities & Illusions”

Thursday, December 12, 3:45 p.m. PST

Summary: On the heels of a turbulent U.S. presidential election, what are the implications for the global battery industry and what are the prospects for growth going forward. As the world transitions to electrification, many challenges and market corrections lay ahead. During this plenary panel moderated by Dr. Lampe-Onnerud, experts from Avicenne, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Mercedes-Benz and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will discuss forecasts and insights about opportunities, challenges, barriers and key factors shaping the EV roadmap, and where the industry is going in the near and long term.
