Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt and Portuguese energy company Galp are laying plans for a €700 million lithium conversion factory in Portugal that could produce enough lithium hydroxide to feed 700,000 electric vehicle (EV) batteries per year.
Volkswagen also ships cars from Setubal, so much of the infrastructure was already there. But not everyone is happy about Portugal’s increasingly big role in the lithium supply chain. Unconnected to Aurora, British company Savannah Resources plans to open Europe’s biggest open-cast lithium mine in northern Portugal.
Portugal next year could approve lithium mining that will reduce Europe’s dependence on outside sources for a key ingredient in the frenetic global race to decarbonise the auto industry. The southern European nation is thought to have the continent’s largest lithium reserves.
Portugal has the largest proven reserves of lithium in Europe, which is why Aurora is there. The refinery will use Portuguese lithium as well as foreign imports from places like Australia (which, the company acknowledges, will contribute to the CO2 emissions associated with the venture).
Portuguese company Lusorecursos this year also submitted an environmental impact study to open a second mine in a neighbouring municipality that would have its own refining facility. A “white gold rush” for lithium in Portugal follows Canadian group Rock Tech Lithium’s decision to invest €470 million in a German lithium plant from 2024.
An ancient farming village in the Portuguese mountains is fighting plans for an opencast lithium mine right on its doorstep. The lithium would be used for electric car batteries and is described by the mining company as critical for Europe's transition to green energy.
