Securing lithium and YPF Lithium. Argentina has the second largest lithium reserves in the world and is the world''s fourth largest lithium producer. However, although there are numerous projects under development, there are currently only two projects in production: Livent (Catamarca), and Sales de Jujuy (Jujuy).

Lithium exports have broken a new record: they added up to US$91 million in March, so the first quarter had an overall foreign sales total of US$233 million (a 133% increase). This is partly explained by higher prices but also because the exported amounts grew by 23%.
Olaroz-Cauchari, Argentina''s third lithium project, is the result of a US$979 million investment made by the Exar company, a firm controlled by China''s Ganfeng Lithium and Canada''s Lithium Americas Corp. As in every project developed in Jujuy, provincial law entitles the state to an 8.5% share through the state-owned company Jemse, which can access up to
Buenos Aires — Last week, Argentina''s President Alberto Fernández visited the first Argentine lithium cells and batteries manufacturing plant belonging to Y-TEC, a company that is part of state-owned energy giant YPF, and which will produce its first pilot models of lithium batteries in December, after taking delivery of
Aside from the technological challenges, getting DLE off the ground has proven difficult economically. Today, lithium is cheap and widely available, in the wake of a 2023 price crash. At its peak, battery-grade lithium hydroxide reached US$80,000 per metric ton before dropping to US$14,000 in April 2024 in the United States and Europe.
As a pivotal member of the "lithium triangle," alongside Chile and Bolivia, Argentina holds a significant portion of the world''s lithium reserves, a crucial component for the production of electric vehicle (EV) batteries and

The Secretary of Energy has launched a call for expressions of interest for battery energy storage systems ("BESS" and the "BESS EOI"). The announcement was made by Resolution 906/2023, published on November 8, 2023.
Buenos Aires — Last week, Argentina’s President Alberto Fernández visited the first Argentine lithium cells and batteries manufacturing plant belonging to Y-TEC, a company that is part of state-owned energy giant YPF, and which will produce its first pilot models of lithium batteries in December, after taking delivery of components in October.
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.
The bill to develop the value chain of lithium and batteries, as it reads on the draft, hopes that Argentina can start by joining the industrialization of a few elements, such as cathodes and battery cells, and only then start producing batteries in the mid-term.
These are some of the findings from a report prepared by the consulting firm Aleph Energy, led by Daniel Dreizzen, which analyzes the global lithium market while delving into Argentina in greater detail. These are the 41 companies of various characteristics that participate in the country’s 64 projects.
Arcadium Lithium, the firm that resulted from the merger between Livent and Allkem, two of the three companies that were already producing lithium in Argentina, accounts for 13% of global production. Output has quadrupled in the last ten years, but is still attributable to only a few countries and projects. Another Argentine Unicorn on the Horizon?
