The highland of the rise of China's lithium industry - Qinghai

This is the region with the most abundant lithium resources in China. It is the fastest growing region in China's lithium industry. It is the most promising area for the lithium industry. Here is Qinghai.

Qinghai can become a rising highland in China's lithium industry, with innate factors and acquired reasons.

Let me talk about congenitality first. The distribution of resources is innate, human beings cannot decide, and it is difficult to intervene, full of chance. As long as we have a rough understanding of the distribution of lithium resources, we will understand the advantages of Qinghai.

From a global perspective, global lithium resources are widely distributed, but reserves are limited, mainly concentrated in South America and China. From the situation in China, 80% of the lithium resources are concentrated in Qinghai Province, and the reserves of lithium chloride have been initially determined to be 22.48 million tons. Therefore, now and in the future, China's industries that are related to the extraction and development of lithium resources in Salt Lake are mainly in Qinghai.

The application prospect of lithium is very broad, especially in energy storage applications represented by lithium batteries for electric vehicles. Relevant experts predict that in the future, lithium battery will be developed and applied in the fields of energy storage peak-cutting and valley storage, household energy storage systems, etc., and its market capacity will be larger than that of electric vehicles. It can even measure this market with trillions of output value. . And relying on the Chaerhan Salt Lake, the East and West Tainai Salt Lake, the Yiliping Salt Lake, the Chaidan Salt Lake, etc., the Qinghai Salt Lake Lithium Carbonate Production Enterprise can provide sufficient raw material guarantee for the development of the lithium battery industry.

In view of its huge advantages and unlimited industrial prospects, Qinghai Province has set a goal of building a 100 billion lithium battery industry base by strengthening the top-level design, optimizing the investment environment, guiding and standardizing the development of the industry, and promoting the upgrading of the Qinghai lithium industry. This is also the acquired factor of Qinghai's ability to become a highland in China's lithium industry: its own attention and efforts.

In order to transform the resource advantage into an industrial advantage, in recent years, the Qinghai provincial government has successively formulated the “13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of New Materials Industry in Qinghai Province”, “Policy Measures for Promoting the Development of New Materials Industry in Qinghai Province” and “Interim Development and Utilization of Salt Lake Lithium Resources in Qinghai Province”. "Measures" and other planning and support policies, increase the investment in the lithium resource industry chain through multiple channels, and seek to change from "a province of lithium resources" to a "strong province of lithium industry."

In just a few years, the lithium battery industry in Qinghai Province has achieved rapid development, initially forming an industrial base from upstream lithium carbonate to battery cells, and building a complete lithium battery industry chain. It is gradually introducing lithium battery industry bases with important influence to the whole country and the world. Step forward. At the Qinghai Fair last year, Qinghai Province signed contracts with BYD, Huatai Automobile, Waterma New Energy Automobile Industry Innovation Alliance and other lithium battery production and supporting equipment, electric vehicle manufacturing, lithium battery positive and negative materials and electronic control equipment. The investment amount is about 10 billion yuan.

At present, Qinghai Province has built 33,000 tons of lithium carbonate capacity and 120,000 tons of lithium carbonate capacity under construction. After years of accumulation, Qinghai has formed at least four production routes for salt lake lithium carbonate. At the same time, the capacity of lithium cathode materials built and under construction reached 39,000 tons.

Forward-looking Industrial Research Institute "Power lithium battery Industry Analysis Report" believes that China's new energy vehicles are currently in a period of rapid growth, and the lithium battery industry has broad prospects for development, which has already shown a situation of short supply. At present, Taifeng Pioneer, Times New Energy, Green Grass and other enterprises are expanding their plants and expanding their production capacity to meet market demand. By the end of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the salt lake lithium resources in Qinghai will realize local conversion through the extension of the industrial chain, reaching a scale of output value of 100 billion yuan.

At that time, Qinghai, a high-rise lithium industry, will firmly grasp the initiative in the national and global markets and create another model of green industry development.
