La Paz (AFP) – Bolivia said Tuesday it had signed a $1 billion deal with China's CBC, a subsidiary of the world's largest lithium battery producer CATL, to build two lithium carbonate production plants in the country's southwest.
Yacimientos de Litio Boliviano (YLB) has shortlisted four companies for lithium pilot plants in Bolivia's salt flats. The bidders are China's CBC, Italy's Protecno, France's Eramet, and Australia's Eau Lithium. These companies were selected based on technological maturity, financial propositions, technical parameters, and project execution time.
Bolivia's state-owned Bolivia Lithium Deposits (YLB) said the plants -- one with an annual capacity of 10,000 tons of lithium carbonate and the other of 25,000 - would be situated in the vast Uyuni salt flats. Lithium, nicknamed "white gold," is a key component in the production of batteries for electric vehicles and mobile phones.
