The lithium-ion battery industry is a key sector for the future of electric and intelligent transport in Quebec. Announcements are multiplying, outlining the economic and environmental stakes at both local and international levels.
The opportunities offered by the creation of a lithium-ion battery supply chain are attracting the interest of major international players, and represent a tremendous opportunity for Quebec to position itself as a world leader in this sector. The U.S. announcement of the Inflation Reduction Act is concrete proof of this: $369 billion (USD) for climate and clean energy policies, extended tax credits and North American sourcing criteria for critical minerals in batteries for electric vehicles.
Quebec currently has a head start in the creation of a Quebec battery industry: hydroelectricity, mines and mining projects under development, announcements from major players, plants under construction, government support and recycling, and so on.
One example of this strategic advance in Quebec is the proposed industrial park dedicated to the lithium-ion battery sector in Bécancour. How are the municipalities involved? What kind of dynamism is this creating between regions, particularly in terms of economic development and jobs? What international collaborations are possible?
Through this panel of experts, you'll discover how this industrial park will position Quebec at the heart of the battery and transportation electrification industry in North America.
