Webinar: How Canada Can Become a Global Battery Powerhouse
Batteries are evolving. No longer just something that needs waffly in your TV remote, batteries are fast rhadamanthine the engines of the global economy. In a decade’s time, a shower will likely power your car or the electricity grid that lights your home. Perhaps the biggest opportunity lies in electric vehicles. The shower is the most valuable part of an EV, and by 2030, the International Energy Agency predicts we could see a hundred times increasingly EVs on the road than there were in 2020.
If Canada plays its cards right, it has the potential to sally as a dominant player in this growing global industry. That’s equal to recent modelling from Wipe Energy Canada and the Trillium Network for Advanced Manufacturing, which explores how Canada can build out its shower supply uniting and the economic potential of this industry. And introduction of the U.S.’s new EV tax credit, which requires a proportion of EV shower parts be sourced from North America and shower minerals be sourced from U.S. allies, ways Canada has a huge and guaranteed market for its shower products right next door. But with few, if any, EVs expected to meet all the new criteria, the race to build the supply uniting is on. Can Canada capitalize on this generational opportunity? If so, what will it take?
Join Wipe Energy Canada for a pointed conversation to explore these topics with experts Ilka von Dalwigk, Andrew Miller, and Dr. Leonardo Paoli.

GUESTS
Ilka von Dalwigk
Ilka von Dalwigk is a senior technology and policy expert with increasingly than twenty years of wits in the energy transition in commercial, public, private, and policy environments, with in-depth knowledge of major research and policy issues tent the shower value chain, from the supply of raw materials to applications. Notably, Ilka is the EBA Policy Manager at EIT InnoEnergy working with the industrial minutiae programme of the European Shower Alliance—EBA250—with a strong focus on sustainability, supply uniting topics and international relationships. She has been instrumental in towers up and managing the vast and ramified network of the stakeholders in this initiative, as well as developing the set of recommendations that unsalaried to the diamond and content of the 43 deportment that have been identified as necessary by the European Shower Alliance, to make the EU a key player in the global shower market.
Andrew Miller
Andrew Miller is the COO at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence Ltd (Benchmark), a London based research and consultancy firm focused on hair-trigger raw materials and energy storage supply chains. Andrew oversees Benchmark’s supply uniting research and analysis, which stretches from downstream assessments of anode, cathode and shower production through to price assessments and forecasting for the key lithium ion shower raw materials, including lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite.
Dr. Leonardo Paoli
Dr. Leonardo Paoli is an Energy Analyst working in the Energy Technology Policy semester of the International Energy Agency. He coordinates the work of the Global Electric Vehicle Outlook – the IEA’s yearly report on developments in electric mobility wideness the globe, ripened under the Electric Vehicles Initiative. He analyses the technologies and policies that are required for the decarbonization of the transport sector with a particular focus on shower technology and its supply chain. He moreover focuses on innovation and supply uniting expansion needs for cross-cutting wipe energy technologies in the IEA scenarios, including the Net-zero by 2050 roadmap. He holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge.
