WEST TEXAS LFP PROJECT

A proposed 50,000-ton U.S. production platform for lithium iron phosphate cathode material—designed around domestic supply, disciplined scale-up and a lower-waste manufacturing route.

01 / Project

Built around the supply gap, not around a slogan.

The proposed West Texas facility brings LFP cathode material production closer to U.S. battery customers while pairing local operating advantages with a modular ramp to full capacity.

Why West Texas

The project materials identify energy economics, industrial infrastructure and access to U.S. customers as the location thesis. The plan is structured to scale production only as equipment, customer qualification and operating readiness advance.

What the facility makes

Lithium iron phosphate cathode material for electric-vehicle and stationary-storage battery production, using iron phosphate precursor preparation, drying, calcination and controlled materials processing.

02 / Technology

An ammonia-based route designed to recover value.

The proposed process converts ferrous sulfate and monoammonium phosphate into iron phosphate precursor, then recovers ammonium sulfate from the liquid stream.

01

Reaction

Ferrous sulfate and monoammonium phosphate enter controlled reaction and precipitation.

02

Separation

Filtration divides the iron phosphate solid from the remaining liquid stream.

03

Finishing

The precipitate is washed, dried and prepared for calcination and downstream processing.

04

Recovery

Ammonia neutralization supports ammonium sulfate recovery from the liquid stream.

Primary streamIron phosphate precursor
Recovered co-productAmmonium sulfate

Project design objective: reduce waste treatment burden while converting a process stream into a recoverable co-product.

Zero-waste target
03 / Market

Domestic demand is scaling faster than domestic material supply.

The planning materials frame the opportunity around rapid U.S. battery growth and continued reliance on imported LFP material.

2025U.S. battery demand370 GWh
2028Projected U.S. battery demand775 GWh
2025Domestic LFP production12.5 kt
2025LFP imports77.5 kt
04 / Customers

Commercial demand is identified.

The project plan names three confirmed customer relationships across electric vehicles, automotive batteries and U.S. battery manufacturing.

06 / Plan

A staged capital plan with transparent assumptions.

The current model uses 2025 West Texas production-cost scenarios and scales capacity in phases. Figures are directional planning estimates, not an offer or guarantee.

Projected production cost

$10,000–14,250per metric ton · West Texas planning range

Modeled profit per ton

Normal tariff scenario$4,340+
High tariff scenarioup to $8,590

Internal model range; final economics depend on feedstock, energy, yield, pricing, financing and qualification.

Proposed scale-up

Phase 01

Initial production line focused on material preparation, mixing and sintering.

10,000 t/y
Phase 02

Expansion following qualification and operating validation.

50,000 t/y

Review status: Customer statements are pending legal review. Market, policy, cost and return figures are drawn from internal 2025 presentation materials and must be updated during diligence.
