Australia is setting its sights on becoming a major player in the global battery supply chain by 2035. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Industry Minister Ed Husic have unveiled the National Battery Strategy, aiming to capitalize on the country’s abundant critical minerals and research prowess. The plan addresses Australia’s current position—contributing less than 1% to the global battery supply chain—by setting priorities and leveraging substantial funding to boost local manufacturing and innovation. With global demand for batteries expected to quadruple by 2030, Australia is poised to seize this economic and environmental opportunity.
