Building the American
Critical Materials Champion
Mitra Chem is an AI-enabled innovator and manufacturer of materials critical for energy, AI, and defense applications.
Mitra Chem's AI platform reduces the lab-to-scale product development timeline and cost by >90%. Our first product at scale is lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode active material (CAM) in Muskegon, Michigan.
Innovating towards an American critical materials supply chain.
Batteries are the core platform technology driving electrification, and demand is exponentially increasing…
... however, the battery materials supply chain is severely underinvested and underdeveloped.
THE PROBLEM
Batteries are critical to
America’s clean energy goals...
The White House has announced a goal for 100% of electricity generation to be carbon pollution-free by 2030, and for 100% of new car sales to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035.
...but today, non-Western countries control the vast majority of the world’s cobalt and nickel processing capabilities.
Today, China accounts for 62% of all cathode material production and will increase to 81% of upcoming capacity by 2030. All iron-based cathodes are currently produced outside of the United States. An over-reliance on China could become our “Achilles’ heel” to achieving clean energy independence.
Iron-based cathodes have emerged as the winner in Western electrification due to their:
Safety
Supply Chain Resilience
Cost Competitiveness
Mitra Chem shortens the lab-to-production timeline
by >90%.
Mitra Chem combines...
Initial product focus on iron-based CAM
Accelerated lab-to-production infrastructure
Manufacturing scale-up and supply chain expertise
