They find a unique treasure in Room which is under control China: billions of white gold. Dated in the year 1817 when the Swedish chemist Johan August Arfwedson He found an element that would shake the foundations of the world: the white gold of the 21st century. It is an element that is very similar to sodium and potassium in appearance of chemical properties.
This precious resource is used in industries such as pharmaceutical and metallurgical, but also in the treatment of air (to throw away carbon dioxide) and in the production of glass, ceramics and fats. During the Second World WarAnd with the elaboration of more powerful engines for aircraft, Lithium began to produce more resistant fat at high temperatures.
Although history is long, it can be said that it has become a crucial element in a short time. Are tree It is closely linked to the appearance and massification of portable electronic equipment that a small lithium battery needed to function, which also makes it possible to work for the long -term operation of equipment: mobile phones, mobile phones, tablets O notebooks.
Spain finds a treasure in his country: China will try to steal his white gold
Under this framework, Room billions of lithium on his territory. The Mining Company Berkeley Energy announced the discovery of large lithium areas in his Conchas projectlying in Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca. This finding has generated great expectations in the world, especially in Chinawhere there is a special interest in the white gold.
Interest that responds to the fact that we are confronted with a light metal with unique electrical conductivity and energy resources, which transforms this element into something that is essential for making batteries used in electric transport.
A production thereof China He is a world leader and makes it a country more than influential on the battery market for electric cars, in addition to other technological destinations.
Moreover, China It already has the control of a large part of the lithium trade by having huge mines and refining factories in South America. Make this point, now the eastern country wants to expand its influence on Europe. With regard to this megayacimiento from Salamanca” China He has already exposed his desires to participate in his exploitation.
A scenario that takes place after China discovered 230 billion tonnes of white gold under the sea.
Will Spain give his white gold to China? This is the dilemma with which the European country is confronted
Given the importance it shows China For this site RoomThe European country would face a strategic dilemma. A new collaboration with the eastern country would ensure advanced investments and technology, but would also have national control over the white gold.
Berkeley Energy Goes step by step before you start the operation of the site of white gold. According to the newspaper Economicso that the initiative Scal Taking a step forward, economic viability analysis should be carried out and study the environment impact that this activity could arise in the area.
Spain takes place on the white gold market: China tries to take over all its position
This situation is a complex exploitation context for lithium, where China, United States y Room They will have to play their cards to show the world which of them makes the best out of these means to stand out on the world market.
Whatever happens, Room has noticed the finding of the century with billions white gold. On the other hand, the sector claims to have found a new system to operate white gold, in which geothermal energy is crucial.
