Are Batteries Bad for the Planet? Zero Emission Mining with NMG | Fully Charged Show Podcast

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, we shine a spotlight on the unsung hero of lithium-ion batteries: Graphite. As the key component of a battery's anode, graphite plays a critical role in powering EVs and energy storage solutions. However, with over 95% of the world's graphite refined in China, diversifying the supply chain is more important than ever.

We delve into how companies like Quebec-based Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) are stepping up, promising carbon-neutral graphite—an ambitious goal for an industry reliant on mining and refining raw materials. The company, backed by supply agreements with GM and Panasonic, is working to determine whether the battery supply chain can truly go green and make sustainable mining a reality. Joining us is NMG CEO and founder Eric Desaulniers to explore these challenges and opportunities. Enjoy this deep dive into the future of sustainable battery materials! @fullychargedshow @EverythingElectricShow
