The Project

Nemaska Lithium aims to be a leading supplier of lithium hydroxide, combining a product of exceptional purity and one of the lowest carbon footprints amongst its peers

This is what its customers are looking for, many of which have set targets of zero net emission or of significant emission reductions.

The mine and the conversion facility are both located in Québec, Canada.

Québec has many advantages

The quality of the deposit, the location of the plant in the Société du parc industriel et portuaire de Bécancour, along with process optimization will ensure a sustainable and profitable future for Nemaska Lithium and its host communities.

Recognized sustainable ecosystem

Uses clean and reliable energy

Strategic location to serve key North American and European markets

Globally recognised research and development, and available human resources

Growing Demand

Nemaska Lithium aims to facilitate access to renewable energy, in addition to promoting supply chain sustainability and traceability

The high-purity lithium hydroxide that will be produced will primarily go to the fast-growing lithium-ion battery market, which is driven by strong demand for transportation electrification and global energy storage. Through its products and processes, Nemaska Lithium aims to facilitate access to green energy, in addition to promoting supply chain sustainability and traceability.

In a market where demand exceeds supply, Nemaska Lithium will be a significant supplier of global lithium hydroxide demand when the production conversion facility comes into operation.
