Intelligence in Lithium

On September 18, 2024, AMG celebrated the opening of its battery-grade lithium refinery in Bitterfeld, Germany – the first in Europe. From mining to the next generation of lithium products, AMG Lithium aims to cover the entire lithium value chain: from spodumene extraction at its own mine in Brazil, to the production of technical-grade lithium carbonate in Brazil, to the production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide in Germany. With the refinery, AMG is making a decisive contribution to securing the supply of critical raw material lithium for the industry in Europe.

Lithium is among the most vital of critical materials globally in terms of fighting climate change. The market for lithium is growing rapidly, driven by a strong demand for electric vehicles, robust growth in smartphones, tablets, and wearables as well as the rising need for renewable energy (grid storage).
