As the UK's only home-grown battery company considers relocating to the US, the company responsible for most of the world's catalytic convertors is warning the UK has already lost the race to produce the batteries needed to transition to cleaner energy.

Could companies building things like industrial-scale batteries soon head across the Atlantic?

However, it has already pivoted some of its investment into the US, recently announcing a long-term partnership deal with American hydrogen firm Plug Power.
