Lithium Werks will invest 1.6 billion euros to build a factory that will produce 8 GWh of batteries per year

Dutch energy storage and battery company Lithium Werks and the government of Jiashan county of Zhejiang province on December 1 held the signing ceremony for a battery factory project that was agreed on during Premier Li Keqiang’s visit to the Netherlands in October.

Lithium Werks will invest 1.6 billion euros to build a 60-hectare factory that will produce 8 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of batteries per year.

Construction is expected to start in the first half of next year and the factory is expected to be commissioned at the beginning of 2021.

Cobalt prices rebounded, lithium prices underpinned by costs

The short-term supply tightness of cobalt raw materials lifted cobalt salt prices last week, but limited trades and continued weakness in consumption may cap any rebound in the near-term prices. Prices of lithium carbonate will unlikely to extend declines given the raw materials costs and the trade prospects in Q2 this year.
