Li-FT Power has commenced a scoping study for a lithium carbonate converter at its Yellowknife lithium project in the Northwest Territories, Canada, targeting a production capacity of 30,000 t/y of battery-grade lithium carbonate. This initiative aligns with the increasing regional demand for lithium as the North American battery value chain evolves.

The company has partnered with SCT, known for its expertise in lithium conversion, to enhance project execution. The converter will process spodumene concentrate sourced from Yellowknife, contributing to a local supply chain for battery materials and supporting the growth of lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) technologies in electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
