Argentina''s first National Plant for the Technological Development of Lithium Cells and Batteries will start production in September on the premises of the National University of La Plata (UNLP), Y-TEC (a subsidiary of the state-owned oil company YPF) head Roberto Salvarezza announced Thursday.
The majority-state-owned company Y-TEC is set to open its first industrial-scale lithium battery plant in the city of La Plata, in Buenos Aires province. The facility arrives after several years of research and US$10 million of investment that allowed the company to carry out laboratory work and first test the feasibility of the project at a

State company Y-TEC, the tech arm of YPF, will open the first lithium battery cell factory in September, in La Plata, the capital of Buenos Aires province. Another plant, five times bigger, will kick off in Santiago del Estero in 2024.
The plant will generate 15 megawatts per year, which means it will produce lithium batteries capable of powering 2500 households. The batteries are envisaged for use in rural areas. For example, there is already a Buenos Aires province-backed project to supply the Paulino-Berisso island, home to 70 families who are currently off the power grid.
In the case of lithium, Y-TEC signed a contract with American company Livent, which extracts the mineral in Catamarca and, for the first time, sold part of its production in Argentina. According to Salvarezza, for industrialization to grow in scale, part of the production ought to be sold on the local market.
According to Livent, which has operated in Argentina since the 1990s, it seeks to “drive the energy matrix transition in Argentina toward clean energy” through the development and local production of ion-lithium batteries.
Although it is not manufactured in Argentina, Y-TEC is conducting a project for artificial graphite production, using burnt coking coal from the YPF refinery. They took it to the Spain Carbon Institute to see if they could perform a chemical process on it.
In fact, they are already being sold in Argentina to the steel industry and farming,” said Salvarezza, who added that they chose this technology because “it’s safer and less polluting”, and also the same one used by brands like Tesla, Ford, or General Motors.
