Phosphate is used in agriculture and is a critical component in producing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are increasingly used in electric vehicles.
Quebec Phosphate's Objectives: Research and development for new innovations to improve legacy thermal processes of phosphoric acid production
New innovations have the potential to significantly improve the polluting legacy thermal processes involved in phosphoric acid production. Traditionally, these actual processes generate large amounts of greenhouse gases, consume substantial energy, and produce harmful byproducts. However, advancements in technology such as plasma reactors and closed-loop systems, offer promising solutions to mitigate these environmental concerns.

About Phosphate
Phosphate is a critical nutrient for plant growth and plays a crucial role in agriculture. It is commonly used in the form of fertilizers to enhance crop yields. However, the global demand for phosphate is increasing rapidly due to population growth and dietary changes, which could lead to a depletion of global phosphate reserves in the near future, also known as 'Peak Phosphate.'
In addition to its use in agriculture, phosphate is also a key component in the production of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are increasingly used in electric vehicles (EVs) due to their high energy density and safety features. The LFP battery market is projected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by the global push towards EVs. Tesla,
The use of phosphate in LFP batteries creates new demand for this critical resource, which could exacerbate the issue of Peak Phosphate. Hence the importance of exploring for further new phosphate reserves.
