“We’re looking forward to collaborating with Aleees, a premier LFP technology provider, with customers in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States,” said Philip Brown, president of ICL Phosphate Specialties and managing director of North America. “ICL is excited to lead the establishment of a localized, integrated, sustainable supply chain of LFP battery materials for U.S.-based customers and to reduce the risk for U.S. companies currently dependent on foreign supply of LFP materials.”

“The global energy storage market has clearly shifted toward LFP batteries as the dominant, more sustainable, safer and cost-effective solution, and we expect our future production to be exclusively dedicated to this area, with our demand estimated to surpass 170,000 metric tons by 2025, and 500,000 metric tons by 2028,” said Edward Chang, president of Aleees.
