Lead the US Battery Industry with the full BatteryMBA

Announced US battery cell capacity has grown from under 60 GWh in 2021 to well over 1,000 GWh of announced or under-construction capacity in 2026, anchored by the IRA's Section 45X advanced-manufacturing production credit, the EV consumer credit under Section 30D, and the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office. The build-out spans a 'Battery Belt' from Michigan through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina, with additional clusters in Nevada, Arizona, and Texas.

The leaders winning in this market are rarely the ones who only understand US policy. They understand Asian cell-manufacturing playbooks, European regulatory dynamics, global chemistry roadmaps and the OEM strategies that shape demand, because all of those forces shape US project economics and bankability. The BatteryMBA is built around that full value chain, with US-specific case studies, projects and peers woven throughout.

The programme covers Section 45X production credits for cells ($35/kWh), modules ($10/kWh), electrode active materials (10% of production cost) and applicable critical minerals (10% of production cost); the 30D consumer credit and its critical-mineral and battery-component sourcing thresholds; the 45W commercial clean-vehicle credit; the 48E investment tax credit for energy storage; and the FEOC restrictions that now govern eligibility. Participants learn how stacking works, what counts as 'extracted or processed' for sourcing tests, and how OEMs and cell makers are restructuring JVs to stay eligible, grounded in the cell-level and value-chain fundamentals the BatteryMBA teaches up front.

The programme covers the upstream picture: US lithium projects (Thacker Pass, Salton Sea, Smackover), domestic graphite anode plants, nickel and cobalt sourcing from US-FTA partner countries (Canada, Australia, Korea, Japan, Indonesia where applicable), and the role of allied processing in Korea and Japan. Tariff dynamics, Section 301 actions on Chinese-origin cells and components, and the Defense Production Act tools that complement the IRA are all covered alongside the global supply-chain modules.
