Bridging the Cobalt Gap in North America

The first, solar-powered, carbon neutral cobalt processing plant in the US

04 March 2024

In this episode, we engage in a captivating conversation with Navaid Alam and Gil Michel-Garcia, Founders and Co-Founders of EVelution Energy, a pioneering private enterprise dedicated to establishing a carbon-neutral, modular cobalt sulfate processing facility in Arizona.

Against the backdrop of the IRA and various other influential clean energy initiatives propelling the nationwide advancement of the lithium value chain industry in the United States, EVelution is at the forefront of the EV revolution in North America and is breaking ground on a $200 million project that will produce up 33 ktpa of cobalt sulfate.

This is the first episode of SFA's special podcast series, in which we host players from across the critical minerals value chains and unearth insights from industry professionals on the ground.
