However, not all lithium is the same; different types are lithium metal, lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate, which is produced as lithium brine and is the kind primarily produced in Chile. As with copper, the importers of Chilean lithium have also significantly changed in the last 10 years. In 2010 the major importers were Japan, Germany, and South Korea,

The Swedish battery cell manufacturer Northvolt is setting up a 50:50 joint venture with Portugal’s energy company Galp. Under the direction of the joint venture Aurora, a lithium conversion plant will be built in Portugal. The future location of the plant is still under discussion. ++ This article has been updated.
The Aurora project should, de Sousa Martins says, encourage investment from other players into the lithium value chain in Portugal, “like cell production, gigafactories, recycling and, of course, more than anything, into the mining world”.
Portugal has the largest proven reserves of lithium in Europe, which is why Aurora is there. The refinery will use Portuguese lithium as well as foreign imports from places like Australia (which, the company acknowledges, will contribute to the CO2 emissions associated with the venture).
The refinery’s home in Setubal is ideally placed, the team says, because of its proximity to both a major port and rail and road links in the city, allowing the easy transport of lithium in and out of the site. Volkswagen also ships cars from Setubal, so much of the infrastructure was already there.
Volkswagen also ships cars from Setubal, so much of the infrastructure was already there. But not everyone is happy about Portugal’s increasingly big role in the lithium supply chain. Unconnected to Aurora, British company Savannah Resources plans to open Europe’s biggest open-cast lithium mine in northern Portugal.
