Securing the Critical Battery Materials Supply Chain in the Southeast
The Southeast is emerging as a national hub for battery manufacturing, critical materials production, and advanced energy investment. With more than $84 billion in announced investments across the region, Southeast states have a unique opportunity to build a secure domestic supply chain that supports economic growth, strengthens energy security, and enhances U.S. competitiveness.
Capturing this opportunity will require coordinated action and advocacy across industry, government, academia, and local communities. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, C2ES Action supports practical solutions that accelerate investment, address supply chain challenges, and ensure communities benefit from the transition to a low-carbon economy.
