American Battery Leadership Coalition

What American Battery Leadership Coalition does

The American Battery Leadership Coalition (ABLC) is a U.S. policy advocacy coalition founded in 2026 and organized and managed by Founders Policy Group, a Washington-based advisory firm specializing in federal policy strategy for technology and energy companies. ABLC's stated mission is to ensure American leadership in sodium-ion battery technology, which it frames as a strategic opportunity built on proven electrochemistry, abundant domestic materials (sodium and hard carbon derived from coal, sawdust, and agricultural waste), and national security considerations. The coalition does not produce or sell batteries; instead, it operates across four pillars — public education, industry coordination, federal policy advocacy, and policy intelligence — engaging Congress and federal agencies on tax credits, permitting, procurement, and trade policy relevant to the domestic battery supply chain.

ABLC's membership comprises companies across the sodium-ion value chain, with named members including Mana, Ingevity, Re:Build Manufacturing, Microporous, and Alsym Energy, spanning materials, components, cells, and systems. The coalition's targeted end-use segments are national security and defense (forward operating bases, defense platforms), AI data centers and utility grid storage, American manufacturing (re-use of existing battery production infrastructure), and domestic supply chain development. ABLC leverages the $150B+ in announced U.S. battery manufacturing investments since 2022 as the policy and industrial backdrop for its advocacy.

As a coalition rather than an operating company, ABLC does not have disclosed revenue, headcount, or pricing. Its business model is implicitly membership-funded, with value delivered to members through coordinated federal advocacy, shared policy intelligence (IRA Treasury guidance, DOE loan programs, procurement and trade measures), and collective public engagement on sodium-ion commercialization, which the coalition identifies as reaching commercial scale for the first time in 2026.

Direct peers

• NAATBatt International: NAATBatt is a trade association for the advanced battery and energy storage industry, conducting policy advocacy, industry coordination, and market intelligence. Highly comparable model to ABLC's coalition structure, though with broader battery technology scope rather than sodium-ion-specific.
• American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE): ACORE is a renewable energy industry membership organization conducting federal advocacy and policy research. Comparable non-profit advocacy coalition model focused on energy transition policy engagement with Congress and agencies.
• Battery Council International: BCI is the lead-acid battery industry's trade association, conducting standards, recycling policy, and federal advocacy. Comparable coalition structure and battery-industry-specific policy focus, though focused on lead-acid rather than sodium-ion chemistry.
• American Clean Power Association: American Clean Power (which absorbed the Energy Storage Association) advocates for clean energy generation and storage at the federal level, including battery storage policy. Comparable coalition/membership advocacy model targeting congressional and executive branch policy on energy storage.
• Electrification Coalition: Electrification Coalition advocates for widespread vehicle and infrastructure electrification through federal policy engagement. Comparable membership model and focus on domestic battery/electrification supply chain policy advocacy.
• Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA): ZETA is a federal EV and battery advocacy coalition that organizes industry around tax credits, manufacturing policy, and domestic supply chain — directly mirroring ABLC's policy pillars for the EV/battery ecosystem. Similar Washington-based membership coalition structure.

Emerging players

• Clean Energy States Alliance: CESA is a coalition of state-level clean energy agencies and organizations coordinating on clean energy program design and policy. Comparable multi-stakeholder coalition model, but operating at state rather than federal level with broader clean energy scope.

Broad incumbents

• National Association of Manufacturers (NAM): NAM is the largest U.S. manufacturing trade association with extensive federal lobbying on industrial policy, tax credits, and supply chain issues. Comparable advocacy function for domestic manufacturing, though much larger scope and broader industry footprint than ABLC's sodium-ion focus.
