Description

By means of the RFP, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is seeking proposals from bidders to identify the opportunities and challenges particular to segments of Canada’s battery supply chain and to understand how the dynamics within and between these segments can be leveraged to develop and enhance Canada’s battery materials and cell manufacturing capabilities.

Canada hosts many of the minerals and metals required for developing the latest battery technologies (e.g., lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite and vanadium). It also has a strong research and development ecosystem, and a world class automotive industry
