Anthro Energy Takes First Steps Toward Solid-State Batteries in the U.S.

Anthro Energy broke ground on a new factory in Kentucky that can meet the battery material needs of over 300,000 electric vehicles. The facility's 25 gigawatt-hour electrolyte production capacity is part of the U.S.'s push for Chinese supply independence. David Mackanic, CEO, called the factory a 'key node in the U.S. battery supply chain' and created 110 permanent jobs. Backed by federal funding, production is set to begin in 2028. Anthro's Proteus polymer could be a breakthrough for solid-state batteries. How will markets react to this development? What does it mean for the future of U.S. battery independence?
