Morocco presents a strategic choice for the plant, given its comprehensive industry chain for lithium-ion raw materials, including notable reserves of cobalt and phosphate. The North African country holds a dominant share of the world’s phosphate reserves, a critical component for battery production.
The planned annual production is 70 GWh. That should be enough for more than one million electric vehicles. Production is mainly for export to meet the high demand in Europe and America – but the partners do not name potential customers. The investment volume is about 20 billion Moroccan dirhams (1.8 billion euros).
CNGR Advanced Materials and the African investor Al Mada are planning a joint venture to produce battery materials in Morocco. The exact location for the plant has already been announced, as has the start of production - provided the official permits are granted in time.
CNGR and Al Mada plan to build a plant in Jorf Lasfar in the El Jadida region of Morocco to process national raw materials (especially cobalt, phosphate and manganese) into battery components. The focus will be on producing precursors for NCM and LFP cathode materials. The plant will also include recycling facilities.
