This surge in energy storage capacity is complemented by Saudi Arabia’s strategic investments in the lithium supply chain, a critical component for battery production. Saudi Aramco, in partnership with state-owned mining company Ma’aden, plans to commence commercial lithium production by 2027.
The integration of lithium production into Saudi Arabia’s long-term strategy includes: Building Lithium Processing Facilities – Establishing refineries to convert raw lithium into battery-grade materials. Investing in EV and Battery Manufacturing – Encouraging companies to set up production plants in the Kingdom.
In fact, the lithium market has experienced significant fluctuations. In 2022, lithium prices soared to $80,000 per metric ton due to fears of supply shortages. However, by January 2023, prices had plummeted to just over $13,000 per metric ton as supply chains stabilized and demand projections were adjusted.
