US lithium-ion battery imports rose 26% in Q2 2026 despite trade restrictions impacting volumes from China, while the UK government delayed including waste incinerators in its Emissions Trading Scheme, postponing the sector's entry to the carbon market beyond 2028.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

US battery importers face tighter supply constraints from China but shifting domestic manufacturing creates new sourcing routes. UK waste incineration firms lose a near-term carbon pricing signal, complicating investment plans.
