    NMC precursor strategy

    Participants assess pCAM as the upstream bottleneck for NMC chemistries: where capacity sits, who controls it, and what a credible Western or European localisation plan looks like.

    Why pCAM matters

    It anchors metal supply (nickel, cobalt, manganese), and it is one of the most concentrated steps in the cathode value chain.

    Process options

    Co-precipitation routes, integration with refining, and the trade-off between flexibility and cost.

    Localisation outlook

    Capex and opex realities for Western pCAM, plus the policy levers (IRA, CRMA) that change the maths.

    Work cases like this inside the programme

    Every BatteryMBA cohort runs an optional case study track where participants build recommendations on live industry questions, mentored by lecturers working on the same problems.
