#Canada’s #Sherritt eyes #Nickel products for booming battery market
Sept 11 (#Reuters) – The rise of electric cars is spurring #Sherritt International Corp to consider branching into producing the types of #Nickel most sought after by battery manufacturers, the chief executive of the #Canadian company said on Monday.
David Pathe said Sherritt, which is one of the world’s largest producers of nickel, was studying the economics around building a plant to produce nickel sulphate, a powder-like substance particularly suited for use in batteries.
