LOCALISED PRODUCTION AT SCALE IS NEEDED TO MEET NEW DEMAND
Europe’s demand for Lithium Chemicals is expected to reach 400,000 tons per annum by 2030.
Currently, European battery and Electric Vehicle manufacturers are reliant on lithium chemicals produced exclusively outside of the EU, the majority coming from Asia.
The required high quality LCE lithium chemicals have a limited shelf life and are susceptible to degradation during transport, factors impacting quality.
Livista Energy will construct Europe’s first two separate lithium conversion facilities capable of processing recycled battery materials close to direct consumers, delivering premium quality products.
The planned initial capacity of each plant will be 40,000 tons per annum of high purity lithium chemicals ramping up in line with the market growth by adding expansion of the same capacity to each plant.
