Russia’s state-owned company Rosatom has signed an agreement with Bolivia’s Yacimientos de Litio Bolivianos (YLB) to establish an industrial complex in Potosí, Bolivia, for the extraction and production of lithium carbonate.The joint project, with an investment of US$1.5 billion, aims to produce 50,000 tons of lithium annually.Lithium is a vital element for energy storage systems in the green economy and is widely used in high-tech industries.With the world’s largest lithium reserves of 21 million tons, Bolivia seeks to create a complete production chain from raw material extraction to the manufacturing of final products for the market.Russian Rosatom and Bolivian YLB sign agreement on lithium mining and production.
