1:40 PM | Panel Discussion | Zero Emission Infrastructure in Arizona

Zero emission vehicles, such as electric and hydrogen powered vehicles, are becoming increasingly popular as a sustainable means of transportation. In order for these vehicles to be viable options for consumers, the necessary infrastructure must be in place. This includes charging stations for electric vehicles and hydrogen refueling stations for hydrogen powered vehicles. Our panel will delve into the current state of Arizona in terms of infrastructure for zero emission vehicles. We will hear from representatives from local utilities and government agencies to understand the progress being made in building out this infrastructure. Additionally, we will hear from companies that are actively involved in the development and implementation of these necessary facilities. By discussing the challenges and opportunities in creating a robust infrastructure for zero emission vehicles in Arizona, our panel aims to provide valuable insights into the future of sustainable transportation in the state.

3:15 PM | Panel Discussion | Battery Materials in Arizona: From Raw to Recycled

The growing battery manufacturing industry in Arizona is indeed bringing jobs and new companies to the state. This industry requires a supply chain of raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are essential components in battery production. Additionally, there is a need for a means to handle the batteries once they reach the end of their life cycle, as proper recycling and disposal are crucial for environmental sustainability. Our panel will delve into the current state of the supply and recycling chains for Arizona’s burgeoning battery industry, discussing challenges, opportunities, and potential solutions in this evolving sector.
