Tianqi production

TIANQI Lithium has begun production of lithium hydroxide at its Western Australian plant this week, it said, as it flagged a delay to a second phase expansion amid a downdraft in prices for the battery chemical.

The plant in Kwinana, south of Perth, which is slated to be the world’s largest lithium hydroxide plant outside of China, will produce 48,000 tons per year of the battery-grade chemical once its second stage rampup is complete. “All of our focus for the coming months is on getting Stage 1 into steady production, and all resources have been channelled towards this,” general manager Phil Thick said Tuesday.

SVOLT in Europe

SVOLT Energy Technology, which was carved out of Great Wall Motor Co., is aiming to start production of battery cells in Europe in early 2023, an executive said during the Frankfurt car show.

Site selection for the plant, which will involve an investment of over 2 billion euros (US$2.21 billion), “will be completed by the end of the year,” Jeffrey Yambrick, vice president of international marketing and sales at SVOLT, said Tuesday. SVOLT was looking at five different locations in Europe, Yang said, adding the group was talking to multiple European carmakers about supply contracts, with the first deals to be struck in 2020.

CATL plant

BATTERY cell maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL) is considering expanding to North America, one of its senior executives said Tuesday.

CATL is currently preparing to start construction on its first European plant in the German city of Erfurt, where it will spend up to 1.8 billion euros (US$2 billion) by the middle of the next decade, but is already looking across the Atlantic.“Yes we are thinking about that,” said Matthias Zentgraf, CATL’s regional president for Europe, adding North America was still behind China and Europe in terms of electric mobility.
