US battery manufacturing has risen 25% since 2023, and demand for battery-powered electric vehicles, higher-performing consumer devices and other energy storage applications isn’t going anywhere. 📈 In the last few years, Group14 has played a leading role in helping to strengthen this domestic battery supply chain through our Battery Active Materials (BAM) factories. Our most recent $200M award negotiation with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to build a silane manufacturing plant in Washington state is the latest milestone helping us continue to build on this work.
