Argentina''s first plant for lithium batteries will begin operations in September, using metal extracted locally by U.S. company Livent Corp LTHM.N, mining officials said on Saturday. Livent had agreed earlier this year to supply lithium to the new plant, which was developed by Y-TEC, a unit of Argentine state oil firm YPF YPFD.BA. "We will start to []
French mining company Eramet has inaugurated its Centenario lithium carbonate production plant in southwestern Argentina. The plant is operated by Eramine, a joint venture in which Eramet has a 50.1% stake and its partner Tsingshan has a 49.9% stake. The plant will extract lithium from saline brine and process it into battery grade
Analysts predict that Argentina''s lithium production will increase fivefold next year and tenfold by 2027. However, the trajectory of Argentina''s lithium production is contingent upon the upcoming presidential election and the country''s macroeconomic outlook, which could impact the progress of the global energy transition and hinder supplies needed for the electric
Argentina currently has three operational plants to produce lithium carbonate, the key component of lithium-ion batteries. But as many as 38 projects concentrated in the country''s north-west are in the exploratory stage and could start production in the next five years.

A testament to this forward-thinking approach is the imminent launch of its premier lithium battery plant. This venture, realized in partnership with the U.S.-based Livent Corp, underscores Argentina’s ambition to be a comprehensive player in the global lithium ecosystem.
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.
