Conclusion:FYI Resources is known to be in advanced discussions with Alcoa of Australia Limited about a possible joint venture (JV). It can be assumed that Alcoa is aware of the possible use of HPA for doping battery anodes and that this development may also be pursued in a future joint venture. After all, it is about an additional market for HPA high-performance ceramics. However, the amounts used should only be a fraction of the amount needed for coating battery separators. The experts Benchmark Minerals expects that an average of around 5 kilograms of HPA are required per car battery. If you think about it to the end, FYI's target production volume of 10,000 tons of HPA per year for 2 million cars would be sufficient. However, this calculation is probably only hypothetical, because a good part of the HPA would probably find its way into the existing LED market or into other traditional applications. There should be no shortage of demand for HPA. These are good prospects for FYI, but also for the anode specialist Ecograf. Alcoa is of course aware of these growth prospects for HPA. That should make the upcoming JV decision easier.
