Summary

We are seeking views on our proposed work for a UK battery strategy to ensure we have access to the widest possible evidence and perspectives.

This call for evidence ran from
22 August 2023 to 11:59pm on 28 September 2023

Call for evidence description

The UK government expects battery design, development, manufacturing, and recycling to play an essential role in meeting our net zero targets. A thriving battery ecosystem could support economic growth, productivity, and jobs.

Stakeholders can have a say on the opportunities, challenges, and priorities for the battery sector by submitting a call for evidence response by the 28 September 2023.

This call for evidence will be of interest to:

• the battery industry and related sectors, including those involved in the battery supply chain – from design through to manufacture, materials, and reuse, repurpose, recycling. It also includes those with energy storage demands in the mobility (personal and commercial, on- and off-highway) and energy transmission and storage sectors
• designers, developers and innovators of batteries or their component parts, in the commercial, industrial, and academic sectors
• investors and developers involved in potential battery projects, from gigafactory and other manufacturing development to those involved in supply chain investments and recycling infrastructure
• non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other organisations with an interest in energy storage
