Chilean regulators reject Albemarle's plans to boost lithium output
Chilean environmental regulators have rejected plans by Albemarle Corp (ALB.N), the world's top lithium producer, to expand output from the Salar de Atacama salt flat, according to filings with Chile's Environmental Assessment Service (SEA). SEA said in a resolution on Monday that Albemarle's environmental impact statement, which included plans to build a new plant to produce 42,500 tonnes of lithium carbonate in northern Chile, lacked key information to gauge the project's impact, prompting an "early termination" of its review. "The applicant [Albemarle] does not present the details necessary to rule out significant adverse impacts on the quantity and quality of renewable natural resources, including the soil, water and air," the regulator concluded in the Nov. 12 resolution, which was first reported by Reuters.

Bloomberg•5 days agoLithium Giant Staying Nimble in Fickle Car-Battery Market
Albemarle Corp. will halt plans to expand its lithium carbonate production in Chile, the company said on Thursday. Instead, it will plow funding into a Western Australia project that produces lithium hydroxide, a rarer form of the metal that’s growing in use and currently sells for higher prices than the carbonate form. Lithium hydroxide works better with cathodes containing higher levels of nickel, helping cars go further on a single charge.

Albemarle freezes Chile expansion plans in wake of lithium tech scrutiny
Albemarle Corp on Thursday defended a previously announced process it has said could boost lithium production in Chile but at the same time postponed two expansion projects in the country that would have needed the new technology to be successful. The move raises further questions about just what Albemarle, the world's largest lithium producer, has developed and how it could work. Albemarle said last year it had developed a process that would more than triple its lithium output in Chile without using more water, in what would be a tantalizing development for the arid region where the white metal is produced.

Albemarle's claim to unique lithium technology draws scrutiny
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif./SANTIAGO, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Albemarle Corp's claim to have developed a unique process that would more than triple its lithium production from Chile's Atacama desert without using more water is drawing increased scrutiny from regulators and investors pushing for more details. The development could help Albemarle cement its position as the world's largest lithium company, just as global demand for the light metal is spiking for use in batteries that power electric vehicles and consumer goods. The lack of clarity over the issue prompted Chile's nuclear commission, which oversees the sale and export of lithium in Chile, to deny Albemarle's request to increase its production quota for the white metal.
