  "summary": "LG Energy Solution has signed a long-term supply agreement with Elevra Lithium, a Canadian company, to secure lithium concentrate. The deal, announced on October 8, will see Elevra Lithium supply 240,000 metric tons of lithium concentrate over a four-year period starting later this year, according to Yonhap News.\n\nThe agreement is expected to help LG Energy Solution strengthen its ability to respond to local customer needs and support the growth of the North American energy storage system (ESS) market. The company plans to have more than 50 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cell production capacity in North America by December.\n\nLG Energy Solution's procurement center leader, Lee Kang-yeol, said the agreement marks an important step in strengthening the company's raw material supply chain in North America. The company has been working to secure key battery raw materials locally in North America, as reported by BusinessKorea.",
