But Australia dominated the production side, putting out 52% of the global supply in 2021, followed by Chile and China at 25% and 13%, respectively. In 2022, China held around three-quarters of the world’s lithium-refining capacity.
Anthony Viljoen, Andrada’s chief executive, believes the region will be “globally significant” not just for lithium but other metals critical to the energy transition, such as tin and tantalum. But it has competition. Last month, Africa’s first Chinese-owned lithium concentrate plant started trial production at Arcadia, in Zimbabwe.
But it has competition. Last month, Africa’s first Chinese-owned lithium concentrate plant started trial production at Arcadia, in Zimbabwe. That mine was bought by Huayou Cobalt in 2021 for $US422 million, part of a recent billion-dollar wave of Chinese lithium deals in a country where many Western investors fear to tread.
“Companies like Toyota, CATL, and China Aviation Lithium Battery (CALB) are heavily investing in this technology, working to overcome challenges related to manufacturing costs and temperature sensitivity,” Yang tells Dialogue Earth.
