Comments focus on lead and antimony contributions to energy technologies of interest
BCI has responded to the Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (“EERE”) Request for Information (“RFI”) related to the development of the 2026 Energy Critical Materials Assessment.
BCI comment’s focused on the criticality of lead and antimony and provided information on how the two metals contribute to energy technologies of interest, materials of interest, supply chain information, market dynamics, challenges to domestic industry, methodology, etc. that DOE sought information on. BCI’s response will help inform the 2026 Energy Critical Materials Assessment created by the DOE.
This RFI is the latest step in an iterative process in which the EERE analyzes and updates a list of materials that it deems, pursuant to certain statutory definitions discussed in more detail below, to be “critical materials” for “one or more energy technologies, including technologies that produce, transmit, store, and conserve energy.”
