<thread> Tesla & #Lithium - a decade in the making
A lithium refinery has been in Tesla & Elon Musk’s @elonmusk thinking for ~10 yrs now & in (a serious way) for the best part of 3 yrs
The logic is sound
2020: 70-80% of lithium ion battery costs are raw materials
2010: 20-30%

Tesla has filed to build a lithium hydroxide refining facility in Texas (Gulf Coast).
This is a revisiting of its 2020 plan to build a spodumene conversion facility to make lithium hydroxide at #GigaTexas
Originally planned to launch Q4 2022.

This #GigaTexas lithium refinery would have been using a new hydromet process, as not to be reliant on sulphuric acid.
Our estimation was a smaller refinery to start with 15,000 tpa lithium hydroxide. Could now be 25,000tpa
