From powering electric vehicles to storing solar and wind energy, lithium plays a critical role in the transition to a greener world. So it’s not surprising demand for Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) batteries is exploding – as are the market values of its key publicly traded producers.
With energy and food prices still high and weather-related calamities occurring far too often, everyone from companies to consumers is looking for greener alternatives across the board. Electric vehicles have driven a lot of the demand, but lithium is also used in storing captured wind and solar for the power grid and residential solar power systems.
LFPs Gaining Traction
For years, North American EV makers relied on lithium-ion batteries made of lithium, cobalt and nickel to power this greener vision. But cobalt and nickel are scarce and expensive – not to mention controversial.
Companies looking for an alternative have turned to LFPs. These batteries are highly stable, longer lasting, and more resistant to heat degradation. They also require less lithium.

But, as its phosphate is snapped up by producers of everything from EVs to solar storage systems, that may not be the case for long.
Deposits Set it Apart
Judging by how the market is moving, LFPs could well be the future. A cheaper way to play this exploding market is with phosphate, of which Arianne appears to be a well-positioned producer.
