Tees Valley Lithium has been shortlisted by a major automotive OEM as the preferred lithium refiner for some of its European lithium supply chain.
The UK refiner’s owner, Alkemy Capital Investments, said discussions are advancing well with automotive OEMs and others, for access to the multi-train facilities of Tees Valley Lithium. This would be using either an intermediate lithium sulphate produced at Port Hedland in Australia or lithium sulphate produced elsewhere for refining into battery grade lithium products to access international markets via the Teesside Freeport.
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.
