The National Battery Strategy outlines Australia's plan to develop a globally competitive battery industry by 2035, leveraging the country's natural advantages to strengthen economic resilience and support the transition to renewable energy.  Australia aims to move beyond mining to capture more value in the battery supply chain.

The strategy focuses on five key strategic priorities:

1. Manufacturing Capabilities

Aims to strengthen economic resilience through battery manufacturing

Supported by the AUD 523.2 million Battery Breakthrough production incentive

Focuses on high-value battery products aligned with Australia's advantages

Includes AUD 20.3 million for Building Future Battery Capabilities measure

2. Knowledge and Skills Development

Building workforce capabilities for battery manufacturing and deployment

Supporting research and innovation in battery technologies

Developing training programmes and skills initiatives

Creating secure, Australian-made jobs in the sector

3. Global Supply Chain Integration

Securing Australia's position in global battery supply chains

Developing international partnerships and trade relationships

Strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities

Supporting supply chain diversification

4. Sustainability and Standards

Leading in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards

Developing circular economy initiatives for battery recycling

Establishing safety standards and best practices

Creating sustainable battery manufacturing processes

5. Government Coordination

Coordinating efforts across federal, state, and territory governments

Aligning policies and initiatives across jurisdictions

Supporting infrastructure development

Streamlining processes and reducing barriers

The strategy targets achieving 82% renewable energy by 2030 and positions Australia to meet the projected demand for 19 GW of energy storage capacity by 2030, growing to 43 GW by 2040.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
