France backs nickel refinery project to bolster battery supply chain
The French government on Monday promoted a private sector plan to develop a nickel and cobalt refinery near Bordeaux to reinforce the country’s supply chain for electric vehicle batteries and reduce its reliance on China.
The project aims to process 20,000 metric tons of nickel and 1,500 tons of cobalt per year from 2028 in a port zone on France’s Atlantic coast and cover 20-30% of France’s nickel and cobalt needs for electric vehicles by 2030.
The project is going through public consultation and administrative approval stages, the finance ministry said.
However, a finance ministry spokesperson said it had not been decided yet where the nickel and cobalt would be sourced from for the planned refinery.
