Integrals Power is undertaking a feasibility study to scale up the production of **phosphate-based cathode materials** for next-generation electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The project will focus on both **lithium iron phosphate (LFP)** and **lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP)**, with the latter offering significant performance improvements. By incorporating manganese, LMFP achieves around **20% higher energy density** than standard LFP, while maintaining the safety, durability, and cost benefits that make phosphate chemistries attractive for a wide range of battery applications. This study will explore the transition from Integrals Power's current **20 tonnes per year pilot production line** to a **100 tonnes per year demonstration facility**, with engineering readiness for a future **1,000 tonnes per year commercial line** in the UK. The project will involve collaboration with engineering specialists to design a scalable and efficient manufacturing process, ensuring that production methods are cost-effective, reliable, and environmentally sustainable. The feasibility study will also include performance validation of LMFP materials at larger battery cell formats, working with partners across the **automotive, maritime, and defence sectors**. These sectors are increasingly seeking safe, high-performance, and affordable battery solutions to support the transition to **zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs)** and other clean energy technologies. By developing a domestic capability for LMFP and LFP manufacturing, this project directly supports the UK's ambition to build a resilient and competitive battery supply chain. Today, most global LMFP and LFP production is concentrated in Asia, and establishing UK-based manufacturing will reduce reliance on imports, create skilled jobs, and ensure security of supply for UK industry. If successful, the outcomes of this feasibility study will provide the foundation for a major investment in a UK manufacturing facility. This would represent a significant step forward in strengthening the UK's industrial base for electric vehicle batteries, delivering environmental benefits by reducing critical raw material dependence and lowering lifecycle emissions. Ultimately, the project will help position the UK as a leader in sustainable battery technology for the global clean transport transition.

The need for a resilient, agile and reliable energy storage is critical for the growth of the economy and its decarbonisation of infrastructure. Developed and developing countries both have their own challenges to address; while the cost of battery packs are significant for developed countries, reliable energy access is what developing countries require to flourish. Successful deployment of off-grid solutions that don't rely on the national grid(unreliable and limited) is one of the main identified solutions to overcome this problem. Having said that, off-grid solutions are highly dependent on batteries which currently come with severe limitations: they are non-affordable, environmentally unfriendly and unreliable under harsh climatic conditions & hot temperature. The outcome of this project will a 8KWh,48V battery pack and three 1.8KWh,12V modular, upgradable and portable battery modules/packs which will be tailored to Mozambican market needs and its high renewable energy source(specifically irradiance) opportunities. NexGen aims to improve accessibility in remote locations, reduce CO2 emission by 20%, reduce battery pack costs by 30% and reduce cost of ownership by 20% by taking advantage of its reusable and recyclable battery pack design.

Advanced Battery Cell(ABC), is a highly innovative project aiming at developing and demonstrating the next-generation, fast charge/discharge and high capacity battery cell for civil aviation and Urban Air transport applications.

Integrals Power Limited (IPL) has successfully developed an advanced 2D Carbon cathode material for LFP battery cells. IPL has developed a proof-of-concept battery cell capable of offering the highest charging and discharging rate, (80% of its overall capacity in 10 minutes), optimised energy density and improved safety level unlike any other on the market. IPL's battery cells will be integrated into battery packs to deliver the best solution to electric vehicle manufacturers, electric devised produces, electric scooters, end-users and public service providers to enable the large scale adoption of greener and cheaper transportation medium. This project will be focusing on optimisation of IPL's current battery materials, ageing behavior and designing a scaled up battery cell(Pouch or Cylindrical) with superior features, specifically for EV and E-scooter sector. EV and Electric scooter mobility have witnessed an unprecedented demand after COVID-19 pandemic, as shared mobility and public transportation systems are no longer a safer option for urban travelling and commuting. This Eco-friendly alternative is critically battery dependent, and still struggling with adopting solutions capable of super-fast charging (currently the time needed is a few hours). This is particularly true for EV, which main reason preventing the large-scale adoption is the long time required for charging, that is still a great limitation in such a time-poverty condition for many citizens and workers. The outcome of this project is to accelerate the development stages and pave the way for future joint business ventures between UK industry and other global battery management system manufacturers. This will contribute to job creation, climate change mitigation, and consequently an improved and reliable battery for many applications which can be useful in situations similar to COVID-19 pandemic. Our fully developed innovation is expected to disrupt the market and contribute significantly to the greatest shift in our economies and habits, moving from an old carbon-fossil based transportation scenario to a zero-emissions one. With the use of phosphates instead of cobalt, we are enabling the manufacture of a more affordable product (which avoids cobalt's cost) and a greener solution (avoiding environmental concerns, related to cobalt entering the environment through improper disposal).
