Ukraine has significant deposits of lithium, which are estimated at 500.000 tons (up to 10% of world reserves) Such volumes of this critical raw material, in the future, allow creating a profitable branch of industry with income to the budgets of all levels.
The main directions of lithium use of in high-tech sectors of the economy and forecast indicators of the level of consumption until 2035 are given, which confirms the critical role of this material in the construction of electric vehicles, renewable energy and the defence industry.
The deposit’s reserves are estimated at 12 – 14 million tons of lithium ore. At the same time, according to categories C1 – 528 thousand tons, C2 – 1574.7 thousand tons. The Dobra site is located in the Novoukrainskyi district of the Kirovohrad region and covers an area of 88.14 hectares.
The approximate content of lithium in the ore of the specified deposits has been determined, which makes it possible to forecast the country’s resource availability with this critical raw material and the strengthening of global technological chains in the future. World production and average price of lithium in the period 2010 -2023.
The countries with the most favourable conditions for the lithium extraction from ore and sediment deposits, as well as the potential of Ukraine on the world market, were determined. Global trends in lithium consumption in various industries, as well as its impact on market value, have been established.
In a post-conference statement, ULM expressed gratitude to the organizers and partners, affirming its dedication to advancing sustainable lithium extraction practices. “This event has reinforced the collective resolve to transform Ukraine into a hub for critical materials,” the company noted.
