The interest in developing lithium deposits in the Western Balkans is part of a wider push to exploit the mineral across Europe. Further north, European Metals Holdings is developing the Cinovec lithium and tin project in Czechia, which it says has the potential to be the lowest-cost hard rock lithium producer in the world.
The interest in developing lithium deposits in the Western Balkans is part of a wider push to exploit the mineral across Europe. Demand for the world’s lightest metal, lithium, is forecast to grow strongly in the coming decade as car manufacturers ramp up production of electric vehicles (EVs).
Coupled with access to leading lithium‐ion battery recycling technology, the elements make a compelling offer for Serbia and her neighbours. The integrated recycling technology will lead the market in processing up to a 50 tons per day of lithium batteries.
Metalfer would provide a suitable site in the western Serbian city of Sremska Mitrovica that will hold the required permits and approvals for the battery recycling operation, creating up to 60 new jobs. The cost of the site would be included in the shared capital costs of the JV.
Chief Executive Officer Bruno Papaj said the firm signed a memorandum of understanding with an Indian investor on the construction of Albania’s first lithium ion battery plant. The facility is planned to come online within two years, with 100 MW in annual capacity.
The transition to electric and hybrid vehicles is making lithium ion batteries a strategic technology, as other available solutions are still in their infancy. The administration in Brussels is counting on the countries that it sees as reliable to provide the critical materials for the energy transition.
