I-LG Energy Solution isayine isivumelwano sokuphuma ne-Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy and Fertilizer (WesCEF) sokugxilisa i-lithium, siqhubekisela phambili ukuthuthukiswa kobudlelwano obabukhona bezinkampani obuqhutshwa inhloso yokuletha izixazululo zamandla ezisebenza kahle nezisimeme emakethe yaseNyakatho Melika.
Ngaphansi kwesivumelwano, i-WesCEF izohlinzeka nge-LG Energy Solution efinyelela kumathani angama-85,000 we-lithium concentrate, engase isetshenziselwe ukukhiqiza amathani angaba ngu-11,000 e-lithium hydroxide, impahla eluhlaza ebalulekile yama-cathodes.
Isivumelwano sokukhipha impahla siqinisa ubudlelwano be-LG Energy Solution ne-WesCEF, obakhelwe ohlelweni lwenkampani lokuletha amabhethri ekhwalithi ephezulu, athobela i-IRA kumakhasimende ayo ngesivinini nangesilinganiso. Lezi zinkampani ezimbili bezisebenza ndawonye ukuze zifinyelele umgomo wazo wokushintsha amandla ahlanzekile kusukela ngo-2022, lapho zisayina isivumelwano sokuqala, seminyaka emihlanu sokuphuma kwebhethri ye-lithium hydroxide ye-WesCEF, ehlanganisa amathani angu-50,000.
I-lithium hydroxide ye-WesCEF izokhiqizwa kuphrojekthi ye-lithium yaseMt. Holland eNtshonalanga ye-Australia. Omunye wamaphrojekthi amakhulu we-hard-rock lithium emhlabeni jikelele, iphrojekthi ye-lithium yase-Mt. Holland isakhiwa, futhi ukukhiqizwa kulindeleke engxenyeni yokuqala yonyaka wekhalenda ka-2025.
Le phrojekthi ithole ngaphezulu kuka-AUD 2 billion kubalingani bayo abahlanganyelwe i-WesCEF kanye ne-Sociedad Química y Minera (SQM), kanye ne-Covalent Lithium esebenza njengomphathi oqokwe yinhlangano ehlanganyelwe ukuthuthukisa nokusebenzisa lo msebenzi.
I-LG Energy Solution kanye ne-WesCEF nazo zihlola amathuba amaqhinga okubambisana ekusetshenzisweni kwezimbiwa phezulu nokucubungula amakhemikhali. Ngokwandisa ubambiswano nomphakeli oqhudelana naye njengo-WesCEF, i-LG Energy Solution inikela ngemizamo yayo ekusunguleni uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwempahla okunesakhiwo nokusimeme kwamaminerali abalulekile athobela i-IRA, lapho inkampani izokwazi futhi ukuvikela ukuncintisana kwezindleko okuhlala isikhathi eside.
Njengengxenye yemizamo yayo yokuthuthukisa uchungechunge lwayo lokuhlinzekwa kwe-lithium, i-LG Energy Solution iphinde yathola ukubambisana ne-SQM, inkampani yezimayini yomhlaba wonke ezinze eChile futhi iphinde ibe ngumtshali-zimali kuphrojekthi ye-lithium yaseMt. Holland, njengoba izinkampani ezimbili zisayine isivumelwano esisha sesikhathi eside sokuhlinzeka nge-lithium carbonate ne-lithium hydroxide ngonyaka odlule.
Kule nkontileka entsha ethatha indawo yangaphambili esebenzayo, inani lokukhipha selicishe liphindeke kathathu ukusuka kumthamo wenkontileka esele (36,000 tons) kuya kumathani ayi-100,000 phakathi neminyaka eyisikhombisa, ngalokho kuqinisekisa ukutholakala okuzinzile kwe-lithium ethobela i-IRA ezoqhuba ukwanda kwebhizinisi lenkampani eNyakatho Melika.
Amaminerali abalulekile nezinto zokusetshenziswa ezivikelwe ngalolu chungechunge lokuhlinzeka zizohlanganiswa emabhethri e-lithium-ion enkampani ezindaweni zokukhiqiza eNyakatho Melika, okuwenza abe yizixazululo zamandla ezithobela i-IRA. I-LG Energy Solution inezindawo eziyisishiyagalombili ezisebenzayo njengamanje noma ezakhiwayo eNyakatho Melika, ezinezindawo ezizimele zodwa e-Michigan nase-Arizona kanye nezindawo eziyisithupha ezihlanganyelwe ezinabakhiqizi bezimoto abakhulu.
