Umicore prepares to construct battery materials production plant in Canada

Umicore plans to construct a manufacturing facility for cathode active battery materials (CAM) and their precursor materials (pCAM) in Ontario, Canada. For Umicore this investment represents the final step in establishing a truly global production presence with battery material value chains that are regionally fully integrated to support its...
Electromobility myth #5
Hydrogen is the future, not battery power. But in the long term, both types are likely to co-exist.
Electromobility myth #5

Both types of mobility have their advantages and disadvantages. It will be a question of matching the technology with the application. In the short-to-medium term, battery vehicles will be the main carbon-free mobility solution. But in the long term, both types are likely to co-exist.

While battery electric vehicles (BEVs) may be more...
