How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

Total emissions over the lifetime of an electric vehicle are considerably lower than those of an internal combustion engine. This is the case at our gigafactory in Europe, which relies on wind energy, and it’s also what we plan for our soon-to-come plant in Canada. Third is the choice of raw materials.

A closer look at graphite—its forms, functions and future in EV batteries

Charged EVs

Graphite is the critical component of all current anode designs. Some advanced designs use a small amount of silicon, which can store more energy. It’s really up to the battery manufacturers and the automakers as to which physical configuration to use, and then of course the internal chemistry configuration.
