I-Ganfeng yaseChina izotshala imali kumaphrojekthi kagesi we-solar lithium e-Argentina

Inkampani yaseChina, iGanfeng Lithium, engenye yabakhiqizi abakhulu emhlabeni jikelele bamabhethri ezimoto zikagesi, ngoLwesihlanu ithe izotshala imali embonini ye-lithium esebenzisa amandla elanga enyakatho ye-Argentina.I-Ganfeng izosebenzisa uhlelo lwe-photovoltaic lwe-120 MW ukukhiqiza ugesi endaweni yokuhluza i-lithium eSalar de Llullaillaco, esifundazweni saseSalta, lapho iphrojekthi ye-Mariana lithium brine iye yathuthukiswa khona.Uhulumeni waseSalta uthe esitatimendeni ekuqaleni kwaleli sonto ukuthi iGanfeng izotshala imali ecishe ibe yizigidi ezingama- $ 600 kumaphrojekthi kagesi welanga - ethi iphrojekthi enjalo yokuqala emhlabeni - kanti enye izoba seduze.Indawo yemidlalo ekukhiqizeni i-lithium carbonate, ingxenye yebhethri, iyipaki yezimboni.UGanfeng uthe ngenyanga edlule ucabanga ukumisa imboni yebhethri ye-lithium eJujuy ukuthuthukisa iphrojekthi ye-lithium brine ye-Cauchari-Olaroz lapho.Lokhu kutshalwa kwezimali kujulise ukuzibandakanya kukaGanfeng embonini ye-lithium yase-Argentina.Ukwakhiwa kwesikhungo iSalar de Llullaillaco kuzoqala kulo nyaka, kulandelwe ukwakhiwa kwesikhungo iGuemes, esizokhiqiza amathani angu-20 000 e-lithium carbonate ngonyaka ukuze athunyelwe kwamanye amazwe.Ngemva kokuba abaphathi bomnyango weLitio Minera Argentina of Ganfeng bahlangane nombusi uGustavo, uSalta Uhulumeni uthe uSaenz.

Ngaphambi kwesimemezelo, uGanfeng waveza kusizindalwazi sakhe ukuthi iphrojekthi yaseMariana “ingakhipha i-lithium ngokuhwamuka kwelanga, okuyinto ehambisana nemvelo futhi ephansi ngezindleko.”
