發佈于: 1 月 25, 2024

魁北克省薩格奈–(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,本公司已經與美國猶他州的American Battery Factory Inc.(“ABF”)和英國米爾頓凱恩斯的Integrals Power Limited(“IPL”)簽訂了一項多方協議,將在北美生產磷酸鐵鋰 (“LFP”)陰極活性材料和磷酸鐵鋰電芯。

經過各方討論安排,約定以下事宜:

  • LFP美國項目將由First Phosphate、ABF和IPL負責,並將邀請其他供應商加入項目組,以支持這一舉措。
  • First Phosphate、ABF和IPL將合作,利用IPL的技術和First Phosphate提供的原材料,試制用於ABF LFP電池芯的LFP陰極活性材料。
  • 在LFP美國項目試點成功後,三方將合作建立北美供應工廠,向ABF供應LFP陰極活性材料。
  • 從原材料到最終LFP電池芯和最終存儲設備生產的一體化設施,需要現有各方和其他潛在第三方進行更緊密的整合,可以考慮成為各方之間深入討論的一部分。
  • ABF預計,從2026年開始,其位於亞利桑那州圖斯康的首個計劃中的LFP電池生產廠對LFP陰極活性材料的年需求量將持續增長,到2028年將達到40,000噸(20千兆瓦時)。ABF計劃在北美建設其他幾家LFP電池生產廠,每家生產廠都將需要類似數量的LFP陰極活性材料。
  • First Phosphate、ABF和IPL將啟動一個同質化流程,將First Phosphate的原材料和LFP美國項目生產的LFP陰極活性材料直接整合到ABF的電池芯中,並在ABF的最終用戶電池存儲產品中進行測試。

First Phosphate首席執行官John Passalacqua表示,“LFP美國項目是整個供應鏈上各供應商齊心協力在北美發展LFP電池行業的典範。如果我們希望在北美發展供應鏈獨立性,我們需要從原材料一直到電池成品各個環節保持獨立。”
