Potassium Ion Battery Technology
MPSC & Group1 Announce Collaboration to Build America’s Potassium-to-Battery Supply Chain
Group1, Inc., a world leader in potassium-ion battery technology, and Michigan Potash & Salt Company, LLC (MPSC), developer of the United States largest potash and salt facility, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to advance a fully domestic potassium supply chain—from mineral resource to advanced energy storage.
data centers, communication, and critical infrastructure
Why Potassium Batteries?
- Surge in Battery Demand: Explosive growth in data storage and global electrification has sharply increased needs for reversible batteries.
- Critical Applications: Advanced batteries are vital for powering data centers, hospitals, defense communications, factories, transportation, and electrical grids.
- Key Materials: Lithium batteries rely on strategic metals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, manganese, and graphite.
- Supply Chain Concentration: China controls over 75% of global battery infrastructure, handling, refining, and production.
America’s largest and most advanced potash and salt production facility
Domestic potassium platform advancing U.S. energy, supply-chain security, and commercial opportunities
“We’ve spent years securing America’s agricultural base through domestic potash production. Now, by linking that foundation to next-generation energy storage, we’re helping extend U.S. self-sufficiency from the farm to the grid.” -CEO of MPSC
