Ford has become Nemaska Lithium's first customer after signing a 11-year deal to buy up to 13,000 tonnes a year of lithium hydroxide for use in electric car batteries. Nemaska's factory in Bécancour, Canada is expected to open in 2026 and will produce lithium hydroxide, converting spodumene concentrate mined at the company's Whabouchi mine in northern Quebec. Nemaska is co-owned by Philadelphia-based lithium firm Livent and Quebec's economic development agency, Investissement Québec.
