CSCEC has steadily pushed forward the construction of the lithium-ion battery anode material factory with an annual production capacity of 60,000 tonnes at Mohammed VI Tangier Tech City in Morocco.

Despite challenges such as high temperatures and fluctuating supplies of building materials, the project achieved watertight completion of all roofing in the owner's installation area for production line equipment, with the corresponding work areas handed over to the owner in an orderly manner.

Karim Zidane, Minister Delegate to the Head of Government, responsible for Investment, Convergence, and the Evaluation of Public Policies, recently led a delegation to Mohammed VI Tangier Tech City to attend a high-level steering meeting on BTR's cathode and anode material project in Morocco. He said the project is being steadily delivered as agreed and stands as a benchmark project for Morocco.

BTR's Morocco project will include two production bases with a combined annual capacity of 50,000 tonnes of cathode materials and 60,000 tonnes of anode materials. The 60,000-tonne anode material factory comprises integrated production workshops, warehousing facilities, environmental protection facilities and office buildings. The project is scheduled to go into production in phases starting in 2026. Once completed, it is expected to create more than 1,100 high-skilled local jobs, helping fill a gap in Morocco's high-end lithium-ion battery anode material industry.
