Bilfinger to partner with Rock Tech Lithium to build German facility
Canada’s Rock Tech Lithium has signed an agreement with Bilfinger to partner for the construction of a European lithium converter, the companies said on Wednesday.
The production plant for battery-grade lithium hydroxide is to be built in Guben, Brandenburg, Germany, and when completed will produce 24,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide annually for the batteries of 500,000 electric cars, the German industrial services provider said in a statement.
“With Bilfinger, we have found and selected an excellent industrial partner who has crucial experience in the construction of complex industrial plants and can implement our project with the highest level of competence,” Markus Brügmann, CEO of Rock Tech Lithium, said in a statement.
Rock Tech Lithium had announced plans in October to build a converter plant in Germany’s Brandenburg to make battery-grade lithium hydroxide for electric vehicles.
The converter is scheduled to start operations in 2024, Bilfinger said.
