LFP battery/Phosphate news, page-1271

None of the above links work.....

I did a bit of fiddling with AI and came up with the following.

"I think you’re referring to the recent developments in the lithium industry. According to a recent article on CleanTechnica, Australia’s lithium is in a hard rock form called spodumene, which is suitable for a shift towards LFP battery chemistries. Lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) batteries are gaining popularity due to their superior safety, lower cost, longer life, and reduced exposure to conflict metals. The article also mentions that LFP batteries that are not reliant on critical energy metals such as nickel and cobalt are forecast to grow by a massive 500% by 20301.In fact, Lithium Australia’s subsidiary VSPC Ltd has demonstrated its capacity to produce some of the most advanced LFP cathode powders available and also higher energy density variants such as lithium manganese ferro phosphate (LMFP). VSPC has completed a positive pre-feasibility study (PFS) that confirms the veracity of independent LFP cathode powder production chain. The PFS considered three jurisdictions for that production: Australia, Vietnam, and India. The PFS has confirmed robust project economics for the manufacture of VSPC’s LFP cathode powder, with production to ramp up to a capacity of 10,000 tonnes per annum (‘tpa’) over a three-year period, reaching nameplate capacity in 2026. The case for locating the plant in India is revealed as the best financial outcome with a net present value (‘NPV’) of US$253 million and an internal rate of return (‘IRR’) of 33%23. Lithium Australia has committed to a definitive feasibility study and aims to provide supply chain security for LFP batteries".
