Rock Tech Lithium plans €470m plant in drive for EV batteries

Rock Tech Lithium has announced plans to build a production plant for battery-grade lithium hydroxide with a planned investment of €470 million (£399m).
The facility in Brandenburg, Germany, is expected to be Europe’s first lithium hydroxide converter, producing around 24,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide per year.
