　　Russia provides Chile with technology to boost CR1632 battery production

　　Russian state-owned nuclear power company Rosatom has provided technology to the Chilean government that it says can increase production of lithium batteries, a key ingredient in electric vehicle batteries. In a separate meeting in late November, lobbyists for Rosatom's wholly owned subsidiary Uranium One Group told officials from two Chilean agencies that they could continue to increase the extraction rate of ultralight battery metals in brine, improve quality and save more mining royalties. Chilean Treasury. "If the Russian technology meets the government's requirements and expectations... the group is willing to launch new technologies for projects operated by SQM, Albemarle... and other concessionaires, with the goal of increasing production quotas," a document filed by Chilean officials on November 22 showed .

　　SQM and Albemarle operate out of Chile's lithium-rich Atacama Salt Fields and are the world's largest lithium producers. Both companies recently received approval to increase lithium production quotas without using more brine.

　　Rosatom representatives presented their plans to officials from Chile's development agency Corfo and the Andean country's mining ministry.

　　Russia is interested in the South American country's CR1632 battery industry as global electric car makers seek battery resources. Chile is the world's largest producer of copper and the world's second-largest producer of lithium - two metals critical to the industry.

　　Rosatom said its technology, which will use the remaining brine left after processing, will eliminate the large water-intensive solar evaporation ponds used by Chile's top miners to produce lithium.

　　The company has also offered several other options to Chilean officials, including building a plant to convert lithium chloride into battery-grade lithium hydroxide, which it says is not produced in Chile but is increasingly popular with automakers. favor.

　　More efficient, water-saving technology could help Chile curb an impending environmental crisis.

　　Uncertainty about how much water lies beneath the surface of Chile's lithium-rich salt flats has increasingly fueled conflicts between lithium and copper miners, as well as industry and indigenous communities.

　　Any proposal by Rosatom, one of the world's largest nuclear reactor producers, is likely to be closely watched by Chilean regulators. Chile considers lithium a "strategic mineral," restricting its production and restricting its use in nuclear applications.
