#BenchmarkWeek

Our CEO @KenBPatriot will be speaking at the #BenchmarkWeek event next week, on Tuesday November 18, at 4:20PM PST. If you are at the @benchmarkmin event, reach out for a meeting! $PMET $PMT #lithium #CriticalMinerals

🌎 #BenchmarkWeek is underway! Benchmark CEO Andrew Miller set the scene for the next three days of supply chain insights and collaboration: "These are not just industries being driven by the uptake of electric vehicles, what it's really about now is national security."

Benchmark's Chief Operating Officer Andrew Miller speaks at #BenchmarkWeek on the key to fulfilling long-term EV ambitions. Today, our flagship conference continues in Los Angeles. We look forward to another action-packed day of presentations, networking and dealmaking focused on #energytransition supply chains.

@catl_official founder, Robin Zeng will join us at #BenchmarkWeek 2026 to accept our Lifetime Achievement Award! @BobGalyen, former CTO of CATL, will be presenting the award before sitting down with Zeng to discuss building the world’s largest battery manufacturer @benchmarkmin

Following Benchmark’s recognition of Governor Arnold @Schwarzenegger with the inaugural Benchmark Lifetime Achievement Award, it was a pleasure to bring together Governor Schwarzenegger, Ty Dinwoodie and Simon Moores for a Keynote Fireside at #BenchmarkWeek this morning. A glimpse of the discussion is shared below, with the extended Fireside now available to watch on-demand ➡

THE highlight for me at #BenchmarkWeek was this discussion with @jbstraubel @RedwoodMat a leading start up for 🇺🇸recycling AND cathodes. - "we will get what we incentivize"; - the IRA language "as written" (and he had some input in helping to write that language) was bullish midstream; - but the "implementation" focused too much on downstream #EV and #battery - to get the $35kwh credit; - incumbent OEMs complained the minerals sourcing requirements were impossible to meet; - so guidance rules made it easier to source from "friendly" countries; - which led to reduction in incentive for US midstream investment - mining, processing CAM, pCAM; - JB is bullish Trump won't kill IRA but will re-write implementation guidelines; - and that he'll welcome more foreign companies (China) to partner with US companies in the US; - which is why he's optimistic; - battery demand is thriving in the USA, but even if we had more lithium mining there's not a customer for it; - we need nickel, cobalt, CAM, pCAM - building a gigafactory in reverse; - EV growth rate may have slowed, but it's still growing fast; - only 1.8% of the US vehicle fleet is electrified - we have 98% to go; - this is multi-decade transition; - think long-term Well done @sdmoores @amiller_bmi

Thanks @benchmarkmin & @sdmoores for honoring JB with your Lifetime Achievement Award. Fascinating discussion at #BenchmarkWeek covering the election and the impact on the IRA and the battery supply chain, as well as an update on Redwood’s operations — we hope to share it soon!

Highlight convo of the #BenchmarkWeek conference IMO. Other the the Bull/Bear #Lithium debate (coming soon)…😉 @jbstraubel @RedwoodMat 👇

Last week, JB Straubel had the honor of kicking off #BenchmarkWeek with a fireside chat on the election results, the future of the IRA, and how to build the US' energy-secure future. Watch the full conversation with @Benchmarkmin & @SDMoores:

Our CEO, Craig Scherba is speaking at #BenchmarkWeek 2023, the leading gathering for the world’s #lithiumionbattery #supplychain and the wider energy transition to discuss the challenges facing battery material supply chains, focusing on graphite as the critical anode material.

Join Gradiant at #BenchmarkWeek! Don't miss the panel “Critical Mineral Symposium: Advancing DLE Technology" on Nov 12 at 2:00 PM, as Felix Wang discusses how AlkaLi, the world's most efficient, battery-grade lithium production process can rapidly scale #lithiumproduction.

⚡ Governor Arnold @Schwarzenegger opens #BenchmarkWeek 2023 ⚡ It was a privilege for Benchmark to open our flagship conference in Los Angeles by recognising Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger with Benchmark’s inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award, for his visionary leadership in rapidly advancing clean, sustainable #energy initiatives. The Award was presented on behalf of Benchmark by Nobel Laureate and forefather of the #lithiumion battery, Dr. Stan Whittingham.

#EV1 MD Phil Hoskins will be presenting on the Natural Graphite Panel on Mon 14 Nov 22 at Benchmark Week 2022 in Los Angeles, hosted by @benchmarkmin. Register to attend: #Graphite & Anodes program: #BenchmarkWeek #ASX #EVs

As a team of ex-Energy sector professionals, it's a natural evolution to see @ExxonMobil also move into #lithium production. DLE is the answer to producing more lithium for the EV market. Excited to be part of the momentum as we head to #BenchmarkWeek.
