发布于: 1 月 25, 2024

魁北克省萨格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2024年1月25日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTC: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)欣然宣布,本公司已经与美国犹他州的American Battery Factory Inc.(“ABF”)和英国米尔顿凯恩斯的Integrals Power Limited(“IPL”)签订了一项多方协议,将在北美生产磷酸铁锂 (“LFP”)阴极活性材料和磷酸铁锂电芯。

经过各方讨论安排,约定以下事宜:

  • LFP美国项目将由First Phosphate、ABF和IPL负责,并将邀请其他供应商加入项目组,以支持这一举措。
  • First Phosphate、ABF和IPL将合作,利用IPL的技术和First Phosphate提供的原材料,试制用于ABF LFP电池芯的LFP阴极活性材料。
  • 在LFP美国项目试点成功后,三方将合作建立北美供应工厂,向ABF供应LFP阴极活性材料。
  • 从原材料到最终LFP电池芯和最终存储设备生产的一体化设施,需要现有各方和其他潜在第三方进行更紧密的整合,可以考虑成为各方之间深入讨论的一部分。
  • ABF预计,从2026年开始,其位于亚利桑那州图斯康的首个计划中的LFP电池生产厂对LFP阴极活性材料的年需求量将持续增长,到2028年将达到40,000吨(20千兆瓦时)。ABF计划在北美建设其他几家LFP电池生产厂,每家生产厂都将需要类似数量的LFP阴极活性材料。
  • First Phosphate、ABF和IPL将启动一个同质化流程,将First Phosphate的原材料和LFP美国项目生产的LFP阴极活性材料直接整合到ABF的电池芯中,并在ABF的最终用户电池存储产品中进行测试。

First Phosphate首席执行官John Passalacqua表示,“LFP美国项目是整个供应链上各供应商齐心协力在北美发展LFP电池行业的典范。如果我们希望在北美发展供应链独立性,我们需要从原材料一直到电池成品各个环节保持独立。”
