Context
The Federation of Chemistry and Parachemistry (FCP) is one of the most active Moroccan federations, significantly contributing to the country's industrial GDP. In 2023, companies in the chemistry sector represented 25% of Morocco's industrial fabric.
To foster real synergies within the federation and to open up more internationally with the aim of building sustainable partnerships with international companies or groups in the chemical industry, the FCP is organizing the 2nd Edition of the International Chemistry Forum on high-performance batteries.
During the 2nd Edition of the International Chemistry Forum, held on May 15-16, 2024, in Rabat, one of the key topics discussed was the construction of an ecosystem dedicated to high-performance batteries in Morocco. The numerous projects initiated in 2023 and partnerships with renowned international companies in the high-performance battery sector highlight Morocco's recognized expertise and potential for investment in electric vehicle-related industries.
Morocco has abundant resources of phosphate and cobalt, essential elements in the manufacturing of high-performance lithium-ion batteries, which are increasingly used in electric vehicles.
Global demand for electric vehicles is steadily increasing, and ongoing projects will enable Morocco to position itself as a key player in the lithium battery value chain for the automotive industry.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to facilitate the construction of a high-performance battery ecosystem in Morocco by developing local expertise through alliances with international partners. This involves ensuring sovereignty over essential raw materials, advancing renewable energy, developing capacities for green energy storage, and recycling materials like cobalt and lithium.
Building a high-performance battery ecosystem at the national level will require considerable efforts in terms of investment, training, and R&D, paving the way for a new era for Morocco's chemical industry.
