[{"type":"text","content":"Our Next Energy (ONE) and Nano One Sign Joint Development Agreement (JDA) to Strengthen North American Supply Chain for LFP BatteriesJDA innovations focused on increasing range, lowering costs and minimizing the carbon footprint for LFP batteries.VANCOUVER, BC and NOVI, MI / ACCESSWIRE / June 14, 2023 / (TSX:NANO)(OTC:NNOMF)(Frankfurt:LBMB): Highlights:Nano One and ONE to jointly develop Nano One's LFP CAM for potential use in ONE's LFP batteries.Collaboration aims to qualify & validate LFP CAM for binding offtake agreement.Combined innovations are aimed at increasing range while lowering cost, environmental footprint and offering a North American solution.Nano One® Materials Corp. (\"Nano One\"), a leader in the sustainable production of lithium-ion battery cathode materials, and Our Next Energy (ONE), a Michigan-based energy storage technology company, have signed a joint development agreement (JDA) to collaborate on the validation, qualification and production of a North American supply of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode active materials (CAM).The CAM will be produced at Nano One's Candiac, Québec, pilot and future commercial facilities for potential use in ONE's production LFP cells used in Aries and Gemini batteries. Nano One's Candiac facility is currently the only LFP CAM production plant in North America and its production milestones are aligned with ONE's battery production growth projections. Working together, ONE and Nano One aim to qualify and validate the LFP CAM from its previously announced 200tpa pilot, potentially leading to a binding offtake agreement from the future commercial production facility.\"Establishing a North American supply chain for LFP batteries is one of the pillars on which we founded ONE ,\" said Mujeeb Ijaz, CEO & Founder of ONE. \"Nano One's innovative and localized CAM process is aligned with ONE's efforts to grow our local material supply chain while minimizing cost, complexity and environmental footprint.\"Nano One is repurposing the Candiac plant to use its patented One-Pot process for the pilot production of LFP CAM, with re-commissioning scheduled for Q3 2023. This move gives Nano One a multi-year head start and a significant competitive advantage in the race to differentiate and commercialize a clean, green and secure North American LFP supply chain.Dan Blondal, ...
