Why is Canada investing in the battery industry?
The expected growth of battery demand presents an important opportunity for Canada to develop innovative solutions, strengthen the battery value chain, and create good jobs while moving towards its 2035 targets and 2050 net-zero goal.
The global cumulative battery demand from 2022 to 2050 is set to increase nearly 150-fold to stay on track to meet the 2050 net-zero goal. Without innovative solutions, the ability for the supply chain to meet this increasing demand will be constrained.
