By means of the RFP, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is seeking proposals from bidders to uncover and understand the potential opportunities for Canada in the global supply chain(s) for advanced battery production: from advanced exploration projects to end-of-life recycling, and everything in between.
Global demand for electric vehicles and energy storage solutions are projected to increase over the coming decades. Canada has many of the minerals and metals required for developing battery technologies (e.g., lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite and vanadium). Energy storage solutions affect the makeup of electric vehicles (EV), home and grid energy systems, and other emerging (low carbon) applications.
The period of the contract is to March 31, 2020.
