QUEBEC CIRCLES PART 2It is said
NORTH VOLT will build a battery plant
near Saint-Basile-le-Grand and McMasterville, Que., about 30 kilometres east of Montreal. Canada to dish out $7 billion.
Around 8,000 trees will be cut down Enviromrntal protests
Not very much " new info or updates online ".
Should there be concern ?
Has Quebec been chess played by other countries ?
Will Quebec's massive lithium deposits sit idle ?
What if orher battery tech becomes top dog ---->
Quebec's lithium sits in ground. What did North Volt achieve in, 2023 ?
SODIUM ION battery.
Nov 21, 2023 — Northvolt claims it has reached a breakthrough in sodium-ion battery technology, allowing it to reach up to 160 Wh/kg energy density.
BMW cancels $2 bn EV battery deal with sodium-ion leader for next-gen EV cells over failure to deliver
BMW has officially cancelled its $2 billion battery contract with Swedish sodium-ion battery maker,
Northvolt. BMW says that it would be better for Northvolt to focus on developing next-gen cells, instead of BMW's production demands.
Europe needs the supply of critical minerals and.... batteries.
Who will they turn too ?
Online searches CATL comes up quite often when searching BMW and ev battery supplier.
= CHINA BMW GROUP
Currently, we have five battery cell factories under contract with various partners and assembly plants for the BMW Group's sixth generation of high-voltage batteries are being built in Debrecen (Hungary), Woodruff near Spartanburg (USA), San Luis Potos (Mexico) as well as Shenyang (China).Oct 17, 2023
Out of these 5 contracts mentioned...
Any guess as to which battery supplier would be most likely the workhorse
to actually supply BMW ? lol
With the current state of Europe and limited mining in Europe.
Has Europe ever considered running to China for batteries ?
If North America has been played with " enviro cards " what effect does this have ?
( Canada + US enviro cards ) several mines not given permits
= Stalls mining.
Which leaves the doors wide open to
China being the supplier.
US 25% tarriffs -------> allots US 2 more yrs to buy Chinese graphite.
Crafty Chess moves.
But is it more like, Chinese Checkers ?
I'd say yes.
If we were to compare US's strategy vs Quebec's what would it look like ? Take Quebec's critical minerals and make
cutting edge tech and let Quebec play
with their...

Li battery magagement
Jun 3, 2024 The government’s goal is for Qubec to become a leader in the production, transformation and recycling of critical and strategic minerals (CSMs) in partnership with local and Indigenous communities.
QUEBEC GRAPHITE NOU - USA cheap concentrates
LLG - with NOU USA

CCB - USA nasa staff
GEM - press cheering on, 25% tarriffs
Same goes for...
all junior's above. Have other nation's out smatered Canada ?
Divert from lithium, use sodium, run to China while sink claws in, Quebec's Graphite ?
= You decide
Who owns the graphite/graphene tech companies ? Ahhhh
G6 Materials
GMG graphene manufacturing group
GrapheneX
Advanced Material Battery Council ( Ai Group )
etc...
North American Graphite Alliance
Is Quebec's Premiere, resource, energy ministers awake ?
Cheers...
