Moves have been afoot for months to turn Portugal into Europe’s top supplier of lithium – the metal used in batteries for electric cars and thus a vital component in the race to keep up with the future. The stumbling block has always been that while this country is already exporting more lithium than any other in Europe, it has no facilities to ‘refine it’.

Portugal is poised to take the lead on the production and export of lithium – a key component of lithium-ion batteries. These rechargeable power sources are used for a large variety of electronics, from mobile phones and laptops to electric cars. Lithium has been experiencing a global boom due to anticipated growing demand for electric vehicles.

Portugal plans to open a lithium licensing auction in May, as part of an ongoing bid to expand their lithium production, streamline their refinement process, and become a major power in the global energy market.
