Saudi Arabia is a step closer to becoming part of the global battery industry after deals to develop lithium processing and anode material projects in the country. The deals could make Saudi Arabia’s lithium ion supply chain the most developed in the Middle East, which right now has virtually no battery material capacity.
The Australian battery materials company EV Metals Group has secured 127 hectares of land in Saudi Arabia to build a battery chemicals processing complex. Production of lithium hydroxide at the plant located in Yanbu Industrial City is scheduled to start in 2026.
As a result, Saudi Arabia is also investing in the battery industry because batteries are pivotal for storing and managing this renewable energy effectively, making them integral to the country’s ambitions to be a global leader in green technologies.
Finally, although the Arab Gulf doesn’t currently have significant reserves of key battery minerals like lithium or cobalt, the regional countries’ extensive experience in resource extraction from the oil and gas sectors could potentially be leveraged for mining elsewhere in the world and for processing minerals essential to battery production.
In 2021, Saudi Arabia became the first Middle Eastern country to establish pipeline capacity in lithium processing by signing an agreement with EV Metals Groups to build a battery chemicals complex in Yanbu Industrial City. The site could produce 18,050 tonnes of lithium hydroxide by 2030, according to Benchmark’s Lithium Forecast.
