Integrals Power has already shared LFP samples with customers across the battery manufacturing, energy storage, and EV sectors – including global OEMs – in both Europe and the United States - playing a pivotal role in helping to build a more sustainable, more robust, and more transparent supply chain.
Robust, sustainable battery supply chains more important than ever as China threatens to cut exports of LFP and LMFP cathode processing technology.
China’s Ministry of Commerce has proposed an unprecedented export ban on technologies essential to the production of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate (LMFP) battery cathode materials.
However, the global battery industry is heavily reliant on China and that means that this move by the Chinese could severely impact the production of electric vehicles and static energy storage systems, as well as causing uncertainty in over supply chains that could damage confidence and slow down the planning and construction of new gigafactories.
“The effects of the Ministry of Commerce’s proposed ban could be highly disruptive and long-lasting and come at a time when many industries are trying to accelerate the transition way from fossil fuels” said Integrals Power Founder and CEO, Behnam Hormozi. “Our strategy of developing manufacturing processes in-house, proving their effectiveness in our own pilot line, and making LFP and breakthrough LMFP cathode materials from raw materials sourced from Europe and North America means that we can help customers to meet the growing demand for clean energy technologies and reduce their reliance on China.”
LFP is taking a growing share of the global battery market, because of its safety, long cycle life and low-temperature performance, while LMFP delivers high performance because of its enhanced energy density and ability to enable longer range in EVs. This means it can compete effectively with Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese chemistries, at lower cost and without using critical elements.
Manufacturing these materials in the UK and offering them to customers around the world could enable Integrals Power to open up the supply chain and drive innovation forward, enabling decarbonisation across a broad spectrum of industries.
