With the increase of electric vehicle sales in the global market, the demand for batteries has also increased. In March this year, Volkswagen said it would build six battery plants in Europe. As an important upstream material, lithium plays a self-evident role in the industrial chain, and is generally known as platinum raw material. However, due to the inconsistent pace of supply and demand, its price has been unstable.

The European Commission estimates that by 2030, the demand for lithium in Europe will be 18 times that of today and 60 times that of 2050. Since this year, the price of lithium materials has soared due to the soaring demand for electric vehicles. Energy companies predict that the price of lithium can be maintained at least above the current level.

Recently, according to German media reports, German power companies and mining companies are planning to mine lithium ore in the Rhine region.

According to geologists' estimation, the deposit stretches for several kilometers. Located in the upper reaches of the Rhine River in the Black Forest region of southwest Germany, about 300 kilometers long and 40 kilometers wide, its lithium reserves are very rich, and it is one of the largest lithium deposits in the world, enough to support more than 400 million electric vehicles. Once mined, it will end the dependence of the German automobile industry on lithium imports.

However, there are some doubts about the economy of mining, and there may be opposition from local governments and residents. Mining in Europe is different from the remote Australian and South American salt flats, which have been important lithium mineral areas.

German and Australian startups said that they could build geothermal power stations while mining lithium ore to improve energy efficiency. The company plans to build five geothermal power stations. The existing geothermal power generation companies in Germany are exploring whether lithium materials can become a by-product of increasing profits.

The lithium deposit here is huge and very suitable for large-scale production of high-quality lithium for the German automobile industry. A local energy company said that it planned to invest about US $2 billion. By 2024, 15000 tons of lithium hydroxide will be mined annually, and then in the next stage, 40000 tons of lithium hydroxide will be mined annually.

The European Union is counting on electric vehicles to help it achieve its climate goals. Last year, lithium was included in its list of key raw materials, and a plan to ensure supply was formulated to support the green recovery.

So far, most of the global lithium materials are mainly from the salt flats in the lithium triangle region of South America, and the mining and extraction process has more energy economy advantages than Australia. The extraction and transportation of hard rock lithium in Australia are relatively energy-intensive. Portugal is the largest lithium producer in Europe, but in the past it was almost only sold to the ceramic industry. Now it is also planning to mine higher grade lithium materials for power lithium batteries.

Because of the close relationship between the German lithium mine and the geothermal energy in the Rhine Valley, the advocates advocate that its mining method is very green and can reduce the cost of lithium mining. However, there are still local objections, because some houses were damaged due to geothermal exploitation.

At present, the German auto industry is still on the sidelines. A spokesman for Mercedes-Benz said that the company was in the early stage of negotiations and expected the relevant companies to make reliable predictions on the delivery volume, and will re-evaluate the situation at that time. A BMW spokesman said that it was monitoring the development of the global lithium market. If the quality, delivery, social and environmental standards were appropriate, it would not rule out the purchase of German lithium. At the same time, all parties acknowledge that a large number of deliveries take time.

The German Mineral Resources Agency (DERA) said that if the expected output could be achieved, it would alleviate the supply bottleneck expected to occur around the middle of this century. It is estimated that by 2024, Germany's domestic lithium demand will rise to 9000 tons/year to 32000 tons/year, and Germany imported about 5300 tons last year.
