EVENT DETAILS |
Climate Tech Action Network (CTAN) presents 1.5C, an ongoing climate technology panel event that will focus on the engineering & 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, & carbon reduction that each of these approaches brings.
The future of EVs, grid storage, & 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 & 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, & sustainable way will be even more challenging. 1.5C will convene cutting edge startups addressing these issues for an evening of education, inquiry, & networking.
