The global energy transition increases demand for key materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earths. However, sourcing these materials is complicated by geopolitical risks, trade restrictions, and environmental concerns. Current supply chains are fragmented and heavily rely on imports from a few dominant regions.

North American Elements bridges this gap by integrating Procurement Diagnostics and Playbooks to identify inefficiencies in energy material sourcing. We work closely with new miners and refiners to secure sustainable supply agreements. Our Chemical Pooling service also allows energy companies to leverage economies of scale, reducing costs and securing stable supplies.

North American Elements offers procurement solutions for energy companies and battery manufacturers requiring critical materials that ensure supply chain stability and sustainability. Unlike conventional suppliers, we engage early with emerging producers and provide market intelligence to drive strategic sourcing.

We specialize in materials for the energy materials industry. Here are some of the key materials we work with:

Lithium Carbonate – Key raw material for lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium Hydroxide – Essential in high-performance battery production.

Nickel Sulfate – Used in battery cathodes.

Cobalt Sulfate – Critical for high-energy-density batteries.

Lithium Cobalt Oxide – Common material in lithium-ion cathodes.

Nickel Nitrate – Used in battery electrodes.

Cobalt Oxide – Improves battery efficiency.

Sodium Tungstate – Enhances energy storage.

Molybdenum Trioxide – Used in energy transition and catalysis.
