A country will invest 400 million to exploit megayaración Green lithiumThat many consider the mineral of the future. He lithium It has achieved an exacerbated success that is promoted by the increase in demand in the electric vehicle industry. However, this mineral is just as popular as controversial.
Some of their critics warn that traditional extraction is harmful to the environment and an important source of polluting emissions. Faced with this scenario, the industry is now running to a new, more sustainable and economic way to extract lithium. The denomination is born from there “”Green lithium“.
The question is growing so much that the World bank It has already been predicted that it will be necessary to tackle current production near the implementation of electric mobility in 2050. This translates into the opening of new deposits. Currently the lithium It is obtained from hard rock lines or underground brine deposits that are below the surface of dry lakes.
On the other hand, the extraction of lithium From geothermal waters it spreads as a much more sustainable alternative to production.
They try to operate a megayacimiento from Groen Lithium, the mineral of the future, with 400 million
The company Genneia continues with the project of a high -voltage line in Salty of US $ 400 million that will offer a renewable and clean electric delivery to the lithium projects of the region of the Indefinite.
According to the company in a statement sent to Energy report – Ámbititois aimed at the construction of an extensive high -voltage electric interconnection project. The aim of the project is to make access to the electricity network easier for mining projects in a certain area, to promote the growth of production of “Green lithium‘In northern Argentino (because all agreed areas belong to Argentina).
Said uprising will provide a renewable offer to an energy demand of 2.6 million MWh/year, which means that a generation of approximately 150,000 tonnes of carbonate can be released lithium per year. Likewise, it makes mining production possible “Green lithium“With such a figure it could reach the ‘Salar de Uyuni’ at some point, the biggest exploitation of lithium in the world.
Genneia He emphasized that he also studies energy production for copper projects, which are also developing in the province (Taca Taca, Luján 22, Aguamarga 24 and Antenna I.among others).
The “Green Lithium” will occur with this Argentinian project: this was presented
As admitted AdnsurThe initiative of Genneia He came to light after a meeting performed between the company’s authorities, representatives of the public services Edesa And the minister of Salta Infrastructure, Sergio Camacho. During their meeting they studied the details of the project and defined what the next steps will be.
Provincial officials emphasized the importance of making the energy infrastructure of Salty Go hand in hand with the economic and social development of the province. Of his place, Genneia He promised to continue to do his work to specify this project, when pursuing a regional energy matrix, which provides mining companies of efficient and clean energy.
Green Lithium is progressing: The Gennneia project is not the only one in progress
The project of Genneia joins another similar initiative driven by YPF Luz y Central PuertoWhat the construction of an electric line of approximately 140 kilometers between implies Salty y CatamarcaWith an estimated investment between USD 250 and 400 million.
Every proposal is independent, but sources from the sector reported Energy report that the possible integration of the three companies in one project is not excluded, which can be framed into the Incentive regime for industrial generation (RIGI).
Argentina will invest large amounts of money to exploit Green lithiumContributing to the global demand and protecting the surrounding environment (avoid scenarios such as the ‘wild’ lithium extraction in the Atacama desert).
