To be more specific, the deal was signed with Global Parques, a subsidiary of the Agência para o Investimento e Comércio Externo de Portugal (Portuguese Agency for Investment and Foreign Trade, or AICEP). According to Agência Lusa, the plan is to build the lithium-ion cell factory in Sines, Setúbal.
Portugal possesses the potential to mine, refine and supply lithium. Savannah’s lithium operation and the Northvolt-Galp joint venture facility have initiated the establishment of an in-country integrated value chain to serve the EU’s battery and electric mobility ecosystem.
