Towards a Western Canadian Battery Value Chain

Assessing industrial gaps and opportunities for economic development
Energy Futures Lab, Battery Metals Association of Canada, The Transition Accelerator

Western Canada has what it takes to build a world-class battery supply chain: abundant resources, strong industrial capacity, and growing leadership in clean technology. But realizing this potential requires more than isolated investments — it requires a coordinated regional strategy grounded in global competitiveness, clean innovation, and economic reconciliation.

Along with our partners the Battery Metals Association of Canada and The Transition Accelerator, we convened multi-stakeholder workshops across to identify key industrial clusters and shape the concepts featured in Towards a Western Canadian Battery Value Chain.

The report highlights how targeted investments in clean energy, transportation, and processing infrastructure can unlock the full value of Western Canada’s resource base.
