NMG Bécancour Battery Material Plant

Nouveau Monde Graphite's planned battery material plant in Bécancour, Québec, combining shaping, purification and coating units to refine flake graphite concentrate from the company's Matawinie Mine into active anode material. The first plant is sized at 13,000 tonnes per year of active anode material dedicated to Panasonic Energy, with a 44,000 tonnes-per-year facility described by the company as the follow-on step. In February 2026 NMG acquired a 143,000 m² brownfield site with an existing industrial building adjacent to its greenfield property in Bécancour, developing a class-3 estimate in H1-2026 toward a final investment decision targeted for H2-2026; the plant is pre-FID and not under construction on any source loaded here. The three transformations are recorded as separate planned lines; the company page names shaping, purification and coating units without stating the material handoff order, so the intermediate material split is inferred and labelled as such.
