Deze discussie hebben we al eens gevoerd @ DeZwarteRidder. AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. wint Spodumene uit de eigen Braziliaanse Mibra mijn. In Brazilie wordt deze Spodumene opgewerkt tot een Industry grade Lithium. En dat wordt verscheept naar Duitsland om het verder op te werken tot de pure Battery Grade Lithiium.
With its own mine in Brazil, AMG is backwards integrated.
The spodumene concentrate from the Mibra mine will be converted into lower grade lithium hydroxide and used as feedstock for the German refinery. However, with the world’s seemingly insatiable appetite for lithium and AMG’s ambitious capacity expansion target, it will need to access raw materials beyond the mine’s capacity, with a strong focus on the carbon footprint of each thinkable scenario, to hopefully include raw materials originating from the EU in the very near future.

AMG werkt op deze manier om de kosten van (volume) verscheping drastisch te verkleinen. Door niet de Spodumene, maar de Industry Grade Lithium naar Europa te brengen, wordt het scheepsvolume met 85% verkleind. Dat staat in hetzelfde artikel :
Europe will thus always need to source considerable amounts from overseas and so will AMG to feed later modules. It will look at
cutting shipment volumes by at least 85% by supporting conversion at the source and importing lower grade lithium materials instead of spodumene concentrate. With the routes currently used for bringing spodumene concentrate from the mines to the converters and lithium hydroxide from the converters to Europe, the shipping itself generates between 2.5 and 5.0 t of CO2 per t of lithium hydroxide. AMG is successfully developing scenarios that will significantly reduce the carbon footprint, and related costs.
En om het verhaal af te sluiten over een mogelijke samenwerking tussen Rock Tech en Advanced Metallurgical Group NV ;
AMG staat open voor strategische allianties in Duitsland. Ook dat staat in hetzelfde artikel :
AMG is open to partner with strategic companies, ideally at an early stage, to enable the discovery of synergies and to follow common interests to not only answer their current demand but also to jointly work on new products to answer their demand of tomorrow.
