Lithium is a fundamental material for the manufacture of electric batteries and, therefore, it is an essential resource to complete the energy transition of global transportation. Experts tell us about the future of this technology and the challenges of a core industry for sustainable mobility.
The Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE [Proyectos Estratégicos para la Recuperación y Transformación]) deployed in Spain have provided a favorable framework for the development of the Lithium industry in the region and have shaken up the battery market with very positive results. “The value chain has been strengthened in several of its elements (power electronics, integrators, control systems, etc.) in order to support this deployment. These programs have led project developers to join the race to capture network access points,” explains Eugenio Domínguez, Vice President of AEPIBAL.
Alkemy Capital Investments plc (LON:ALK, FRA: JV2) is focussed on developing projects in the energy transition metals sector. Alkemy’s wholly-owned subsidiary Tees Valley Lithium (TVL) is developing a state of the art lithium hydroxide plant at Teesside, UK. TVL is Europe’s largest independent and sustainable lithium hydroxide producer.
