    VW confirms looking in Canada to build first North America cell plant

    BERLIN (Reuters) -Volkswagen has begun searching for a site for the German carmaker's first battery cell factory in North America, its CEO announced on Thursday. Confirming an earlier Reuters story, Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume and Canadian industry minister Francois-Philippe Champagne signed an addendum to their existing memorandum of understanding from August, agreeing to identify suitable sites for the planned cell plant. Blume said that battery technology was key for the company's strategy and that it was committed to investing in North America.

    Volkswagen teams up with Umicore on battery materials

    Volkswagen announced on Monday a $2.9 billion battery parts joint venture with Belgian materials firm Umicore, becoming the latest European automaker to bring battery supplies closer to home in the shift towards electric vehicles. While raw materials - among them lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese - will still be largely sourced from across the world, cathode production for batteries will take place in Europe under the joint venture, most likely at Umicore's Poland plant.

    Umicore sees new plant in Poland powering 3 million EVs in second half of decade

    Belgian firm Umicore sees its newly inaugurated battery materials plant in Poland potentially powering 3 million electric vehicles (EVs) in the second half of the decade, it said on Wednesday. The company said it saw potential to increase the plant's annual production capacity in gigawatt hours (GWh) to over 200 GWh in the second half of the decade, the equivalent of 3 million electric vehicles. "The current energy crisis will be a facilitator of electrification," Chief Executive Officer Mathias Miedreich said during a press conference, adding that "customers' electric vehicles are selling like never before".

    Umicore ups profit outlook after strong performance in cathode unit

    (Reuters) -Belgian chemicals and battery materials company Umicore raised a key earnings forecast on Friday on the back of a strong performance in its EST unit which makes cathodes for electric vehicles, boosting its shares more than 7% to a one-month high. The group said it now sees full-year adjusted operating profit (EBIT) to be "somewhat above" current consensus, which stands at 827.7 million euros ($845.2 million). Shares in the group had fallen sharply last month after it presented a more expensive than expected 5 billion euro plan to bulk up its battery materials business, raising concerns the plan could lead to higher debt and require significant external funding.

    Belgium's Umicore plans C$1.5 billion battery materials plant in Canada's Ontario

    Belgium's Umicore plans to invest C$1.5 billion ($1.2 billion) to build a battery materials manufacturing plant in Canada's Ontario province that would supply parts to one million electric vehicles by 2030, Ottawa said on Wednesday. The Canadian government and Umicore have signed a memorandum of understanding for the facility and will start negotiations on a formal agreement that would include federal support for the project, an official statement said. Umicore, a materials technology and recycling company, said separately that it was in negotiations with several potential customers for production contracts in North America.
