Australia wants to leverage its position as a mining and minerals hub to capture opportunities in the battery industry, and is seeking input on a National Battery Strategy.
The government Department of Industry, Sciences and Resources opened a public consultation last week (3 February).
It invited responses to a position paper on the strategy, which outlines how important batteries will be for the global and Australian economies, and how domestic industries and society can benefit. The consultation is open for a month, until 3 March 2023.
