New Cathode Active Material (CAM) Plant – Project Details and Background

EcoProBM has established a collaborative venture with Ford Motor Co. and SK On Co to initiate a $1.3 billion Cathode Active Material (CAM) plant within the Bécancour Industrial Park, strategically located between Quebec City and Montreal.

For EcoProBM, this marks their second international factory, with the plant set to launch three production lines anticipated to become operational in April 2026. The plant’s projected annual production capacity stands at 45,000 tonnes.

What is the Cathode Active Material?

The cathode is a core material that directly correlates with lithium secondary cells’ charging capacity and lifespan. 

Cathode Active Materials (CAM) defines the capabilities and utilization of distinct rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that are used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems.

With the surge in demand for lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicle and battery cell manufacturers are facing challenges and pressures in their supply chain. CAM emerges as one of the pivotal components dictating performance, efficiency, reliability, costs, durability, and the physical dimensions of lithium-ion batteries. 

CAM is a crucial battery component for electric vehicles, constituting approximately 40 per cent of the total battery cell cost.
