Message: Developing the battery industry in Quebec

The Quebec government wants to develop an entire value chain, from ore extraction to the manufacture of batteries, and they are working hard toward achieving this goal.

-On September 9, Premiers of Ontario and Quebec meet to discuss economic recovery.

“There are sectors like aerospace or the electrification of transportation, from minerals to batteries, where both provinces have an interest. So we agreed to create a common force to have joint projects that we will develop, explained Quebec Minister of Economy and Innovation, Pierre Fitzgibbon.”

-On September 21, Nouveau Monde Graphite’s research & development consortium, led by Professor Lionel Roué (INRS), advances its carbon neutral battery anode program.

This grant highlights the benefit of the partnership with Dr. Lionel Roue’s team at INRS; the optimisation of Nouveau Monde’s battery anode material production line is expected to significantly increase the Company’s profitability. The cutting-edge practices that Dr. Roue and Nouveau Monde have developed considerably increases fine graphite recoveries and uses silicon to form a high-value secondary particle, useable as an active Li-ion battery anode material. Nouveau Monde’s graphite particles and binder will be used as a swelling buffer for silicon nanospheres. The resulting composite will have improved specific capacity and longer cycle life, which addresses shortfalls normally associated with silicon. In addition, the smaller graphite particles are more suitable for fast charging applications.”
