  • Plans for Albemarle's new lithium plant have been stalled after Chile's environmental office stopped its review due to the impact statement lacking the necessary information.

    Chile’s environmental regulatory authority has terminated a review into US chemicals company Albemarle’s plan to build a new lithium plant in Chile.

    Albemarle’s environmental impact statement for its plan to build a new lithium carbonate plant in northern Chile, with capacity for 42,500 tonnes per year, lacked the information necessary to gauge the project’s effects on the local soil, water and air, the regulator said on November 12.
