Battery Matters

Battery Matters A podcast by Volta Foundation × Battery-News.com Batteries are no longer just a technology story. They are the infrastructure of the energy transition — the deciding factor in who leads the next industrial era, which supply chains survive, and how fast the world decarbonises. Battery Matters is the podcast for everyone who needs to understand where the battery industry is really heading. Each quarter, co-hosts Lauren Allanson of the Volta Foundation and Christoph of Battery-News.com bring together the most important developments in battery technology, manufacturing, policy, and markets — and sit down with the leaders, builders, and investors shaping what comes next. Expect rigorous data, honest analysis, and conversations that go beyond the headlines. No hype. No spin. Just the intelligence that matters for anyone building, funding, researching, or betting on the battery industry. Battery Matters is a collaboration between two institutions at the centre of the global battery ecosystem: the Volta Foundation, dedicated to accelerating battery science through research and data, and Battery-News.com, the home of global battery industry intelligence. Whether you are an engineer, an executive, a policymaker, or simply someone who believes the energy transition depends on getting batteries right — this show is for you. Because batteries matter. And so do the decisions made around them.
