Highlights
Globally diversified portfolio of
vertically integrated lithium
conversion assets
Building from Albemarle's
presence in major markets
A train of capacity is ~25kpta;
economies of scale with multiple
trains at each location
Sell or toll excess resources to
bridge to new conversion assets
Capital costs per annual ton of
capacity varies by region:
$25-$30k in Australia, N. America, EU
-$20k in Latin America
~$10-15k in China
Further accelerating growth; potential 2030 capacity up ~15% from previous target
1 All figures shown on 100% basis; pending regulatory approvals, ALB's expected attributable share of Kemerton is 100%
