DETAILSClimate Tech Action Network (CTAN) presents 1.5°C, an ongoing climate technology panel event that will focus on the engineering and scientific challenges facing different verticals of the climate crisis. We are bringing together some of the hottest startups in the field to explore the complex trade-offs in cost, feasibility, scalability, and carbon reduction that each of these approaches brings. The future of EVs, grid storage, and electrification relies on a sustainable supply chain for batteries. But, there are many challenges: the cost of lithium has soared over 400% in the last year. And many critical minerals, such as cobalt, are produced in countries with poor track records on human rights. Making EVs accessible, practical and affordable enough to replace the 300 million gas burning vehicles in the US over the next 20 years will require massive investment in the battery supply chain. Doing so in a just, equitable, and sustainable way will be even more challenging. 1.5C will convene cutting edge startups addressing these issues for an evening of education, inquiry, and networking.
