The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Aberdeen Minerals on securing £294,000 in grant funding by the UK Government; understands that the funding was achieved through the Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF), which will meet 70% of the cost of a feasibility study into innovative methods to process minerals at the company’s Arthrath Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Aberdeenshire; further understands that the study will investigate the potential to accelerate the production of cathode raw materials in north-east Scotland for UK battery manufacturing, using more environmentally sustainable and socially acceptable approaches; notes that the ATF is delivered by the Advanced Propulsion Centre in collaboration with the UK Department for Business and Trade and Innovate UK, and wishes continued success for Aberdeen Minerals in the future.
