NMG Matériau d'anode active AAM

Matériau d'anode actif

Matériau de graphite avancé et transformé, conçu pour être utilisé comme composant d'anode dans les batteries lithium-ion. Ce produit est au cœur de la stratégie de NMG pour approvisionner le marché des véhicules électriques et du stockage d'énergie.

Nouveau Monde Graphite's active anode material is a high-tech product essential for manufacturing batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Produced from natural graphite flakes extracted from the Matawinie mine, this material undergoes an advanced transformation process at the Bécancour plant. NMG's vertical integration strategy ensures full control over quality and traceability, from ore to final product. By using Quebec's clean hydroelectricity, the production process aims for a carbon-neutral footprint, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional suppliers. NMG's R&D team works continuously to improve performance, particularly in cycling life, to meet the demanding specifications of battery manufacturers. This material represents a key component of a resilient and responsible North American supply chain for the green economy.
Our active anode material is primarily designed for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, supporting the transition to a decarbonized future.
Production is designed to be carbon-neutral by leveraging Quebec's renewable hydroelectricity. Furthermore, our integrated mine-to-material model ensures traceability and adherence to ESG standards.
Jumbo flakes from Matawinie

Flocons de graphite

Graphite naturel en flocons extrait du gisement de classe mondiale Matawinie au Québec. Ces flocons constituent la matière première pour les produits à valeur ajoutée de NMG, y compris le matériau d'anode actif.

Nouveau Monde Graphite's flakes originate from the Matawinie deposit, located in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, Quebec. This deposit is recognized for its quality and size, positioning NMG as a major player in North America. The company has started construction work on the mine, which is designed according to sustainable development principles. Phase 2 of the project aims for all-electric mining operations, an industry first, to minimize the environmental footprint. These graphite flakes, including large 'jumbo' flakes, are the foundation of NMG's entire value chain. They are intended for processing into advanced materials or can be supplied for other industrial applications requiring high-purity graphite from an ethical and traceable source.
Our graphite flakes are extracted from our Matawinie mining project, a deposit located in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, 150 km north of Montreal, Quebec.
Our mining project is developed with a firm commitment to sustainable development, including community partnerships and a plan for 100% electric mining operations for Phase 2.
Expandible graphite NMG

Graphite expansible

Un type de graphite spécialisé, traité pour s'exfolier et augmenter de volume lorsqu'il est chauffé. Ce produit fait partie du portefeuille de matériaux avancés de NMG pour diverses applications industrielles.

Expandable graphite is one of the advanced graphite materials that Nouveau Monde Graphite plans to produce. Derived from the natural graphite flakes of the Matawinie mine, this value-added product is designed to meet the needs of various industries beyond the battery sector. While specific applications are not detailed, expandable graphite is typically used in fields such as fire protection, seals and gaskets, and thermal management. The production of this material aligns with NMG's strategy to maximize the value of its graphite resource while upholding its commitment to sustainable and carbon-neutral production. By offering a diversified product range, NMG aims to become a comprehensive supplier of graphite solutions for the clean technologies and manufacturing industries of tomorrow, with a fully North American supply chain.
Yes, expandable graphite is a value-added product derived from the same high-quality natural graphite flakes extracted from our Matawinie deposit in Quebec.

Développement de chaîne d'approvisionnement intégrée de graphite

NMG développe une chaîne d'approvisionnement de graphite entièrement intégrée, locale et traçable au Québec. Ce service va de l'extraction minière responsable à la production de matériaux avancés carboneutres.

Nouveau Monde Graphite offers a unique value proposition by developing a fully integrated supply chain, from ore to battery material, located entirely in Quebec. This model begins with graphite extraction at the Matawinie mine in Saint-Michel-des-Saints and continues with advanced processing at the Bécancour plant. For customers in the energy and technology sectors, this translates into a reliable North American source of supply, reducing geopolitical and logistical risks. Traceability is guaranteed at every step, and NMG's commitment to carbon-neutral production, powered by hydroelectricity, meets growing sustainability requirements. This strategic service ensures not only the delivery of high-performance graphite materials but also peace of mind through an ethical and transparent value chain.
Our integrated supply chain provides full traceability, North American security of supply, and a carbon-neutral footprint thanks to the use of hydroelectricity, all managed by a single entity.
Mining takes place at our Matawinie project in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, and advanced processing into battery materials is planned for our plant in Bécancour, Quebec.
