Lithium production capacity additions in Argentina 2021, by project stage
As of October 2021, Argentina's lithium production capacity could grow by ** thousand metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE), with the completion of the Cauchari-Olaroz project which was under construction at the time. Expansions of existing plants adding up to ** thousand tons LCE had also been announced. In addition, plants with a combined annual capacity of roughly *** thousand tons LCE were under different stages of development at the time.
