The Battery Technology Podcast

Is there a road map for developing a successful battery industry and what lessons can we learn from the last 20 years that policy makers can learn from? What are the lessons for other local economies looking to nurture their domestic battery supply chains? In this episode I'm delighted to be joined by Christopher Chico, Editor of The Battery Chronicle to discuss the key issues in developing a competitive battery sector. Speaker Notes: Christopher Chico | Editor | The Battery Chronicle https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-chico-97a859111/ The Battery Chronicle https://christopherchico.substack.com/ Host Ken Davies | Managing Director | GSE Media Ltd https://www.linkedin.com/in/kendavies/ ken.davies@gsemedialtd.com Sponsorship The Battery Technology Podcast is sponsored by Battery Tech Europe | FIRA de Barcelona | September 2026 The battery technology sector in Southern Europe is growing rapidly, both in energy storage technology and EV mobility. Spain is the 2nd largest automotive manufacturing economy in Europe and has recently announced a huge investment to accelerate the development of the supply chain in Battery Energy Storage Systems. It’s a very exciting time for growth in the battery related supply chain in the Southern European region. With few major battery technology events in the region, the event will provide a large and additive audience to the current events for the European EV and BESS supply chain. It will be a major addition to the roster of battery industry events. https://batterytechexpoeurope.com/ or contact me at ken.davies@gsemedialtd.com

Materials discovery has been the propellant of many of the big leaps forward in the battery space. So the field of material engineering and how material design can be accelerated is right at the centre of solving many of the problems that battery material designers are wrestling with. To explore the advances being made in this field, I'm delighted to be joined by Jason Sebastian, Executive VP of QuesTek Innovations, the Chicago based materials software and consultancy business; to discuss the work they are doing to reveal the next generation of materials candidates for use in the battery technology space.

The concept of circularity is central to the global Net Zero objective. Ensuring batteries are directed to their best use after serving their original purpose, when up to 80% of their energy capacity is still available, is critical to achieving to that goal. But circularity won’t happen by itself – potential buyers and sellers need confidence in the market, with data, traceability and transparency. That requires a whole ecosystem of technology to make the market function efficiently. I'm joined by William Bergh, CEO and Founder of Cling Systems to discuss the innovation necessary to enable battery circularity.
