Despite continued funding and policy support, North America’s battery materials supply chain continues to face execution challenges in the midstream (refining, cathode, and anode production). Projects in this area routinely stall due to first-of-a-kind scale-up risks, permitting delays, and qualification cycles rather than capital constraints. Join Worley, an industry expert, as they share hard-won lessons from building a resilient battery supply chain in the Americas, exploring how stronger upfront engineering, realistic schedules, and enabling policy can de-risk projects and close the competitive gap with China’s dominant, low-cost incumbents.
