The need
In Europe, heavy investment in downstream activities in the lithium battery value chain has resulted in a critical shortfall in sustainably-sourced raw materials, including battery grade lithium chemicals.
The solution
The Extremadura New Energies’ Project represents Europe’s 2nd largest hard rock lithium deposit, with a fully integrated lithium chemical conversion plant on site. The mineral is completely processed in the adjacent site until converted into lithium hydroxide, an essential component in the manufacture of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, particularly those used in electric vehicles.
The value proposition
Infinity Lithium Corporation Ltd’s Ryan Parkin tells Proactive’s Andrew Scott they’ve produced battery-grade lithium chemicals during metallurgical test-work on material from the San José lithium project in Spain. By generating chemicals like lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate, Infinity continues to advance its multi-pronged test-work program on San José, which is poised to supply Europe’s battery industry.
