US names seven battery and power tech hubs
The US has announced a series of regional tech hubs for power and battery research.
These sit alongside four US tech hubs for semiconductors and two for quantum technologies.
For cleantech, the Gulf Louisiana Offshore Wind Propeller, led by Louisiana State University, aims to transition Louisiana’s energy economy from its legacy of oil and gas to offshore wind and renewable energy while the Intermountain-West Nuclear Energy Tech Hub (ID, WY), led by the Idaho Advanced Energy Consortium. This aims to position Idaho and Wyoming as a global leader in small modular reactors (SMR) and advanced nuclear energy to contribute to a clean energy future.
The SC Nexus for Advanced Resilient Energy (SC, GA) led by the South Carolina Department of Commerce, aims to be a global leader in advanced energy by developing, testing, and deploying exportable electricity technologies.
South Florida Climate Resilience Tech Hub (FL), led by the Miami Dade County Innovation and Economic Development Office, aims to advance its global leadership in Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure (SRI) solutions for the global climate crisis including electricity grid development.
The New Energy New York (NENY) Battery Tech Hub, led by the State University of New York (SUNY) Binghamton, aims to bolster battery technology development and manufacturing across the entire value chain while the Nevada Lithium Batteries and Other EV Material Loop, led by the University of Nevada, Reno, aims to build a self-sustaining and globally competitive full lithium lifecycle cluster, spanning extraction, processing, manufacturing, and recycling.
