Overview
Electra is at the forefront of producing sustainable battery materials through strategic projects. Through refining, processing, and recycling, we will supply materials to help produce lithium-ion batteries. Backed by support from the U.S. and Canadian governments, Electra offers a local, reliable, and domestically aligned solution to onshore supply and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
Lower Carbon Footprint
We take a proactive, risk-based approach to environmental management, with robust measures that help ensure we minimize our impact, while ensuring the viability of the environment for future generations. When compared to offshore refining facilities, our North American refinery has:
51%
lower CO2 emissions
73%
lower water consumption
30%
lower eutrophication potential
48%
lower global warming potential
Ontario Refinery
Ontario, Canada
Electra Battery Materials’ Ontario Refinery will be North America’s first and only cobalt sulfate refinery. Strategically located and equipped with cutting-edge technology, the refinery supports the domestic battery supply chain high-purity cobalt and other critical materials.
