Our Next Energy, a battery startup aiming to compete with China in energy storage technology, has replaced its founder and CEO, Mujeeb Ijaz, due to a failed funding round and cash crunch. Board member Paul Humphries will take over as the new CEO to secure another funding round. The company has been supported by politicians and is part of US industrial policy efforts. The startup is part of a push to make high-value battery components currently sourced mainly from China. Sila, a Californian company, is set to supply Panasonic with US-made silicon powder for EV batteries, aiming to reduce reliance on China. Sila has also broken ground on its first automotive-scale manufacturing facility with support from the U.S. Department of Energy's $100M grant.
