10 | Dr. Tyler Farnsworth & Tom Borak — Head of Technical and Product Development & Head of Commercial Development, MERGE Chemistry
Description
🧪 What are the critical chemicals that need to be scaled for energy storage right now? In 5 years, what battery chemistry is going to be winning in the marketplace? We're changing the pace with two guests to answer these questions: Dr. Tyler Farnsworth and Tom Borak, who join BioZen's CEO Nate Kirchhofer and bring their perspective from MERGE Chemistry—the custom/specialty chemical manufacturing division of Inorganic Ventures (IV Labs)—that can scale production of a wide array of active and additive materials for many different energy storage technologies. Their chemistry-agnostic view yields a unique perspective on the supply chain, 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, battery applications, and other trends in the energy storage space. (Note: here's a link to the USGS Critical Minerals publication that Tyler mentioned during the discussion: https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201127).
Recorded 27 April 2023.
