Element 25 teams up with Nissan Chemical for HPMSM plant in Japan

Proactive - Interviews for investors

Element 25 Ltd (ASX:E25) managing director Justin Brown joins Proactive’s Tylah Tully to discuss the partnership its entered with Nissan Chemical Corporation to explore the establishment of a High Purity Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate (HPMSM) facility in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. This collaboration aligns with Element 25's strategy to develop a global network of HPMSM facilities complementing the initial plant planned in Louisiana, USA, in cooperation with General Motors and Stellantis. The agreement, formalised through a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), reflects Japan's strategic interest in manganese as a critical mineral, particularly for the electric vehicle industry as it shifts towards high-manganese battery chemistries. The proposed facility in Japan would utilise Element 25's low-emission technology at Nissan Chemical's existing Tokyo Bay site, benefiting from existing infrastructure and logistics. The MoU includes plans for a comprehensive feasibility study, with key milestones such as engineering, procurement and construction contracts, and project financing. A final investment decision is targeted for September 2026. #ProactiveInvestors #Element25 #ASX #NissanChemical #HPMSM #Manganese #ElectricVehicles #BatteryProduction #Japan #ChibaPrefecture #ESG #AutomotiveIndustry #CriticalMinerals #SustainableTechnology #LowEmission #SupplyChain #IndustrialPartnership #InvestmentDecision #TokyoBay #FeasibilityStudy #GlobalFacilities #ElectricMobility #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
