Since 2023, several Chinese lithium battery industry chain companies, including CATL, Gotion High-Tech, Sunwoda, BTR, Huayou Cobalt, CNGR Advanced Material and Tinci Materials, have collectively invested in Morocco and built factories. The battery industry chain centered around LFP is forming rapidly.
Huayou Cobalt and LG Energy Solution will co-build a plant in Morocco, one for 50,000 tons of LFP annually and another for 52,000 tons of lithium conversion annually. In addition to abundant phosphate reserves, Morocco also possesses metal resources like cobalt and lithium needed for battery production and has cost advantages.
Tinci Materials plans a factory in Morocco with an annual production of 300,000 tons of lithium battery materials. Huayou Cobalt and LG Energy Solution will co-build a plant in Morocco, one for 50,000 tons of LFP annually and another for 52,000 tons of lithium conversion annually.
The Korean firm LG Chem is working with China’s Huayou Group to set up a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode materials plant in Morocco. The facility is expected to produce enough material for half a million electric car batteries once it starts up in 2026. LG Chem currently produces nickel-based battery materials.
With production capacities that will support over one million EVs annually, the project is poised to revolutionize electric battery manufacturing in Morocco. CNGR Advanced Material Company holds a 50.03% stake in the joint venture, while Al Mada owns 49.97%.
In addition to abundant phosphate reserves, Morocco also possesses metal resources like cobalt and lithium needed for battery production and has cost advantages. Industry estimates suggest that producing lithium batteries in Morocco offers a 36% cost advantage compared to other countries.
