The resources of phosphate rock in Norway have the potential to provide a supply of phosphate for Europe’s emerging LFP battery industry.
Phosphate is one of the key materials used in one type of lithium ion battery, known as “LFP”, and demand for these batteries – and the underlying phosphate – is growing fast. It is therefore a very big deal that some commentators have suggested this new deposit could meet the world’s phosphate rock needs for the next half a century.
First Phosphate Corp. ‘s pilot project to transform its high purity phosphate concentrate into battery-grade purified phosphoric acid (“PPA”) for the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery industry has been successful.
2021 was a watershed year in the adoption of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in electric vehicles, starting a trend that is set to continue. The vast resources of phosphate rock in Norway have the potential to provide a local, secure supply of phosphate for Europe’s emerging LFP battery industry.

The reserves, discovered in Rogaland, south west Norway by Anglo-Norwegian firm Norge Mining, are equivalent to at least 70 billion tonnes.
Igneous anorthosite rock advantages for LFP battery production include: Clean processing allows for a fully circular economy. With a rare igneous anorthosite rock deposit in Québec, First Phosphate is leading the charge in producing the highest purity, ESG-driven, carbon-neutral phosphate for the global LFP battery industry.
