In this episode of the Investing, Markets & Money podcast, host Stuart Fieldhouse talks with Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One Materials, about the company’s latest breakthroughs in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology — and what they mean for investors.
Nano One has secured $5 million in new funding from Natural Resources Canada, complementing earlier support from the U.S. Department of Defense and the Government of Quebec, as it scales up its LFP demonstration plant. Blondal explains how this non-dilutive capital helps the company grow while building a cleaner, more sustainable battery supply chain for North America and beyond.
We also dive into:
⚡ How Nano One’s patented “one-pot process” eliminates wastewater and reduces costs
🌍 Why governments are backing the decoupling of battery supply chains from China
🤝 Strategic partnerships with Sumitomo Metal Mining and Rio Tinto
🇺🇸 The rise of the Arkansas Lithium Technology Accelerator (ALTA)
💡 What investors can expect next as Nano One expands into Europe
If you’re following the EV, clean-tech, or battery materials sectors — or just want to understand where the next big opportunities lie — this is a must-listen conversation.
