Status
Operational: Phase 1 producing NMC precursor since 2024
Product: NMC precursors; LFP planned. Capacity: 120 kt/yr (pCAM target, NMC precursor; 60 kt LFP planned later).
CNGR joint venture with Morocco royal holding Al Mada; Morocco has a US free-trade agreement, which is why Chinese CAM makers chose it; FEOC rules still apply to the Chinese stake.
