Umicore’s Rechargeable Battery Materials Canada Inc. has awarded Worley Limited an engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services contract for its battery materials manufacturing plant in Canada.
Umicore plans to build a battery materials plant in North America, producing cathode active materials and precursor materials (pCAM) for rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles. The plant is expected to be the first of its kind in the region, supporting around one million electric vehicles annually by 2030.
According to Worley, the award represents its ability to deliver large-scale projects in a rapidly growing area, with EPCM services provided through its Canadian offices, Latin American teams, and Global Integrated Delivery in India.
“We are pleased to be working with Umicore on this project, where we are delivering services supporting the battery materials manufacturing plant, consistent with our purpose of delivering a more sustainable world,” Worley Chief Executive Officer Chris Ashton said.
