VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 30, 2024 /CNW/ -- The Battery Advocacy for Technology Transformation Coalition, a new group of battery material producers, is pressing U.S. lawmakers to revise the 2022 climate law, aiming to close loopholes that foreign entities of concern could exploit. This call comes amid broader concerns from the International Energy Agency (IEA), which warns that falling mineral prices may disguise risks of future scarcity in essential battery materials like lithium, copper, cobalt, nickel, and graphite. With the electric vehicle (EV) market accelerating globally, analysts at Fastmarketshighlight challenges in securing these critical resources, as supply chain vulnerabilities—including material shortages, geopolitical tensions, and regulatory shifts—pose significant risks. Meanwhile, innovators in battery manufacturing and recycling as well as mining companies and automakers are advancing efforts to stabilize the supply chain and support the green energy transition, including: Battery X Metals, Inc.
