Making HPMSM in Malaysia
Element 25 commenced a Feasibility Study (FS) on the construction of a high purity manganese sulphate conversion facility located in the Samalaju Industrial Park in Malaysia.
Dependent on the progress of E25’s Louisiana based facility, there is potential for similar facilities in multiple locations to match growing demand from the battery industry, with a “design one – build many” (DOBM) philosophy.
Manganese is an increasingly important ingredient for EV batteries, with the potential supply constraints for nickel and cobalt forcing battery manufacturers to look to high manganese cathodes to produce the vast amount of cathode material required for the EV industry.
