ICL <\/strong>has broken ground on a $400 million St. Louis battery manufacturing plant. The project is set to be the first large-scale plant of its kind that manufactures lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in the nation.<\/p>\n

Situated on ICL\u2019s Carondelet campus, the facility will encompass 140,000 square feet. It is expected to produce 30,000 metric tons of LFP, a component needed for electric vehicles, energy storage, mobility, infrastructure and more. The facility is anticipated to deliver in 2025.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Energy<\/strong> supplied a $197 million grant toward the project. In a statement at the groundbreaking ceremony, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said that the facility will contribute toward a strong U.S. supply chain of clean energy products.<\/p>\n
