China’s proposed LFP export ban validates First Phosphate’s push for a North American supply chain [Video]

First Phosphate’s CEO, John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss China’s proposed ban on the export of battery cathode and lithium processing technologies, including lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) technologies. Passalacqua emphasized the geopolitical and strategic significance of this decision, calling it a pivotal moment for phosphate technologies on the global stage.

“This is the moment of recognition of just how important this whole supply chain is,” said Passalacqua, noting that China’s move places LFP and iron phosphate technologies on par with defense contractors and advanced computing in terms of strategic importance. He highlighted how First Phosphate has been proactively building a robust North American supply chain to mitigate the risks posed by such international disruptions.

Passalacqua warned of the potential consequences for North America if a domestic supply chain like First Phosphate’s were not in place, describing the proposed ban as a wake-up call for Western governments and industries. He called for a renewed focus on local LFP production and reaffirmed First Phosphate’s commitment to its accelerated timeline. “We’ve been building as quickly as humanly possible since the beginning,” he said.

The discussion also explored the alignment of U.S. policies under Donald Trump with First Phosphate’s vision for a self-reliant North American supply chain. Passalacqua viewed the Chinese export ban as a validation of the company’s strategy and underscored the rising demand for LFP in global markets.

As LFP technologies become a focal point of international trade and energy strategy, First Phosphate’s efforts to secure a North American foothold have positioned it as a critical player in the evolving landscape of clean energy and sustainable battery production.
