NOVONIX Selected to Receive up to $5 Million in Non-Dilutive Funding from Natural Resources Canada
 

Halifax, NS (Canada), August 19, 2025 – NOVONIX Limited (NASDAQ: NVX, ASX: NVX) (“NOVONIX” or “the Company”) advises that it has been selected to receive up to CAD $5 million in non-dilutive funding from Natural Resources Canada under the Energy Innovation Program’s Battery Industry Acceleration call for proposals to support the continued development and scale-up of NOVONIX’s patented all-dry, zero-waste cathode active material (“CAM”) synthesis process at its pilot facility in Nova Scotia, Canada. This proprietary process eliminates the use of water and harmful solvents, increases production efficiency, and reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional wet processes.


The four-year project will focus on:

Commercialization of the CAM synthesis technology
Optimization of CAM chemistry
Operational scale-up
Characterization of materials using alternative critical mineral feedstocks
Full-scale pouch cell testing to benchmark performance
 

This investment marks a key milestone in NOVONIX’s strategy to advance sustainable battery materials and technologies. The Battery Industry Accelerator program is part of Canada’s broader strategy to bolster domestic battery manufacturing capabilities, create high-quality jobs, and support companies developing breakthrough clean technologies.

 

In June 2024, NOVONIX was granted a patent (JP7504195) in Japan for its foundational all-dry CAM synthesis technology. In August 2025, the patent (US12,378,132B2) was granted in the United States.

 

This announcement has been authorized for release by NOVONIX Chairman, Mr. Ron Edmonds.
