By investing in battery innovation, the Government of Canada is ensuring we capitalize on the country’s competitive advantages for the benefit of all Canadians. “When it comes to the clean economy, Canada’s competitors are increasingly making strategic investments to get ahead.
It recalls how Canada’s history in battery making and innovation began in 1978 with Moli Energy in Burnaby, B.C. Then, after that brief flicker, the sector went dormant. In the last few years, however, the opportunity has come to revive it and learn from the past.
This investment will help create battery-grade lithium in Canada and add to the domestic EV battery supply chain November 28, 2022 – Calgary, Alberta – Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada The Government of Canada is accelerating its efforts to create jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net zero by 2050.
The Canadian Battery Innovation Roadmap from the Accelerate alliance is “a strategy to establish Canada as a global leader in battery technology by 2035” Accelerate’s new report, titled the “Canadian Battery Innovation Roadmap,” presents an analysis of Canada’s battery ecosystem and makes recommendations for actions to increase competitiveness.
Canada is a pioneer in innovative all-electric mining and also home to companies with modern facilities making some of the most sustainably produced EV batteries in the world – and operating within an ecosystem of state-of-the-art technologies to recycle these batteries. Raw materials remain the backbone of Canada’s EV battery supply chain.
The expansion of the battery ecosystem in Canada provides an opportunity to differentiate Canada’s industry on a global scale through a deliberate approach tailored to Canadian battery innovation.
