The threat of significant cost increases in batteries for stationary applications in the U.S. looms large. Increased duties are expected to be imposed after the Department of Commerce and International Trade Commission (ITC) adjudicates an anti-dumping, countervailing duties (AD/CVD) complaint, regarding the Active Anode Materials (AAM) used in lithium-ion battery cell production.
