Metso + EV Metals to build lithium plant in Yanbu: <\/strong>Battery chemicals company EV Metals<\/a>Group<\/a> signed an agreement with Finnish industrial machinery company Metso<\/a> to establish a lithium chemicals plant (LCP)<\/a> in Yanbu Industrial City, according to a statement<\/a>. Metso will deploy its leaching technology<\/a> which is being used globally in LCP projects, including the Energy & Minerals<\/a>Group<\/a> \u2019s lithium refining subsidiary LiChem which is exploring developing lithium refining<\/a>complex<\/a> in Oman.<\/p>\n

KSA has been working on strengthening its critical minerals supply chain:<\/strong> It signed with the UK an agreement in May to strengthen the global supply of critical minerals<\/a> and prioritize the sustainable production of critical minerals essential to EV, wind turbine, and solar panel manufacturing. Saudi also inked 75 agreements with a total value of USD 20 bn at the Minerals Forum<\/a>, including to launch a metals trading company aimed at shoring up iron ore, lithium, copper and nickel supplies from international markets.<\/p>\n

EV Metals is already present in the kingdom: <\/strong>The battery chemicals company signed an agreement with the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu last year to establish a facility to produce key chemicals for EV batteries<\/a> and renewable energy storage. EV Metals Group is based in Australia but has offices in the Kingdom and the UK, according to their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About Metso:<\/strong>Metso<\/a> is a Finland-based industrial machinery company that focuses on mining, aggregates, recycling and metal refining industries. The company has a regional presence as it partnered with Ma'aden and Germany\u2019s ThyssenKrupp to develop a carbon capture and storage<\/a> complex in KSA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
