EC 215-183-4
Also known as lithium hydrate.
chemXplore tracks 16 projects producing lithium hydroxide, of which 9 are active.
Of the active ones, 9 new construction.
4 active projects carry no start-up date yet. The dates themselves, per project, are for subscribers.
Upstream work finished at a 4,000 m Argentina site, raising commercial carbonate output to 48,000 t/year and enabling a 50,000 t/year lithium hydroxide system when linked to a 2027 downstream plant.
Covers carbonate from Antofagasta and hydroxide from Texas; Trafigura takes 66% of Black Giant Phase 1 and 30% of Lonestar Phase 1, aiding US supply chain and project financing.
US$700m short-term facility to finance working capital for two brine lithium plants; preferential tax treatment will lower borrowing costs and improve project competitiveness.
Pilot will test salt-assisted crystallization to refine LiCl from geothermal brines and recycled batteries into battery-grade lithium with lower energy, CO₂, water and waste.
Framework deal names a preferred automation/digitalization supplier for Lionheart, Europe's first integrated lithium+renewables project: 24,000 t LHM/yr; 275 GWh power; 560 GWh heat; 30-yr life
Chiovato and Buissette lead efforts to scale sulfide solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries, targeting 500 Wh/kg by 2028-2030, with plans for funding and industrial scale-up.
The plant will produce lithium hydroxide for batteries using green electricity. Construction starts Q1 2026. The site covers 77,517m2 in Höchst Industrial Park, Frankfurt.
The plant will provide climate-neutral district heating and lithium for battery production, supporting energy transition and raw material independence in Germany.
EIB funds a lithium project in Germany, enhancing Europe's lithium supply chain, reducing imports, and supporting sustainable energy and transport initiatives.
Invests KRW1.1T to secure Australian hard‑rock and Argentine brine lithium: 30% stake giving 270,000 t concentrate/year (~37,000 t LiOH) and full buyout of Hombre Muerto adjacent rights
