Sustainable Energy: Morocco Aims to Reach 25% of Cathode Production Capacity in Europe for Electric Batteries.

Morocco is positioning itself as a key producer of cathodes with Chinese investments exceeding $700 million, according to Benchmark Intelligence. Chinese companies, including BTR, a subsidiary of the China Bao'an Group and a supplier to Tesla, are investing heavily, bringing Morocco's total capacity to about 25% of that of Europe. Morocco's free trade links with the United States and Europe, as well as its vast phosphate reserves, have helped attract these significant foreign investments.
