Reno, Nev., Jan. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) (OTCQB:ABML), an American critical minerals and lithium-ion battery recycling company, will participate in the Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) Summit in San Francisco beginning today, Monday, January 31, 2022 and ending Tuesday, February 1, 2022.
ABTC CEO Ryan Melsert has accepted an invitation to participate on the expert panel titled “Scaling up the Battery Supply Chain'' taking place today, Monday, January 31, with industry leaders including Schlumberger New Energy’s Executive Vice President, Ashok Belani, Li-Cycle’s President, CEO and Co-Founder Ajay Kochhar, and Talon Metals’ Chief External Affairs Officer and Head of Climate Strategy Todd Malan. Moderated by BloombergNEF’s Head of Global Analysis, Albert Cheung, the panel will discuss perspectives on the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries and the imminent need to scale and mature a supply chain sustainably.
“I am looking forward to participating in the San Francisco BNEF Summit alongside respected industry peers,” commented American Battery Technology Company CEO Ryan Melsert. “There is a large void in the upstream section of the domestic battery supply chain. While there are large amounts of battery cell and electric vehicle manufacturing capacity already under construction, there is a significant shortage in the amount of domestic battery materials manufacturing and refining capacity to supply the feed materials to these facilities. Collectively drawing attention to and developing solutions for challenges that exist in the current domestic battery supply chain are necessary to develop the materials needed to support a sustainable transition to vehicle electrification.”
Since 2008, the BNEF Summit has been convening leaders in energy, industry, transport, technology, finance, and government with the goal of generating ideas, delivering insight, and making the connections that help them formulate successful strategies, capitalize on technological change and shape a cleaner, more competitive future.
