6 FAQs about [Portuguese lithium battery energy storage materials]
Is there a lithium conversion factory in Portugal?
Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt and Portuguese energy company Galp are laying plans for a €700 million lithium conversion factory in Portugal that could produce enough lithium hydroxide to feed 700,000 electric vehicle (EV) batteries per year.
Does Portugal still produce lithium?
Portugal already produces lithium, which is for now only for the ceramics industry, and has active mines which do not produce enough volume to supply the factories producing batteries. The price of the raw material for ceramics is relatively low, so there will come a time when it is no longer economical to depend on farms.
Does Portugal need to develop lithium mines?
Given that Portugal receives significant benefits from membership in the EU, some of the goals that require lithium, such as clean mobility, economy decarbonization and digital technologies, the question remains as to whether Portugal does not have some obligation to develop lithium mines, since it has the largest reserves in Europe.
Does Portugal have the largest lithium reserves in Europe?
With the potential to have the largest reserves in Europe, less lithium arrived in Portugal, where there were two dozen prospecting requests this year, although mining companies are still awaiting the competition promised by the government.
Will Portugal's lithium reserves ruin its way of life?
Portugal's lithium reserves are considered central to Europe's increasing demand for electric cars, but the villagers say it doesn't justify ruining their way of life. "It would destroy everything," says Aida Fernandes, as she looks across the valley where four opencast pits would border the village of Covas do Barroso in northern Portugal.
Could Iberia supply enough spodumene to make EV batteries?
The partners behind a JV aiming to develop a lithium conversion factory in Portugal say Iberia could supply enough geological feedstock spodumene to produce 700,000 EV batteries per year, starting in 2026.
