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

Charged EVs

For EVs to deliver their full emission-reducing potential, the battery supply chain must be as clean as possible, and cathode active materials (CAM) are a key part of the sustainability equation. Measures that are proposed include a streamlined process allowing for fast-track permitting for clean-tech projects as well as funding.
