Australia’s abundance of new energy materials and expertise in the extraction and processing of minerals resources frames Australia’s opportunity to leverage this comparative advantage to develop value adding future battery industries that occupy secondary, tertiary, manufacturing and re-use positions in the energy storage supply chain. There is considerable activity within Australia to redefine the nation’s energy reliability and security systems. This activity provides Australia a well-placed opportunity to manage the role of batteries in the transition to an affordable, reliable, lower carbon electricity system. Grasping these opportunities involves the development of battery industries from the new energy metals that are abundant in Australia; the nation now must mine, process and provide high quality battery metals for a new set of industries. What occurs in the next five years will have a significant impact on the opportunity to claim the global market. There is opportunity to demonstrate to the world the vital link between batteries and a secure, affordable and resilient electricity system.
