Quebec’s Role in The New Green Economy

In 2020, The Quebec Government released the Quebec Plan for Development of Critical and

Strategic Minerals (“The Quebec Plan”) which indicates graphite demand would likely increase

300-500% in the coming decades as more is used in the production of spherical graphite for anode

portion of Electric Vehicle Lithium-ion batteries. Quebec has an opportunity to play a vital role in

reducing carbon emissions and become a key provider of critical battery materials to the North
