The scale VS the mcap27 Apr 2023 08:23
Study highlights:
· 96,000 tonnes annual production of battery grade lithium hydroxide representing approximately 15% of projected UK and EU demand;
· The facility has been designed to process a range of imported low-carbon, high value feed sources including lithium sulphate and lithium carbonate;
· Pre-tax net present value (NPV) of GBP2.8 (US$3.9) billion based on long-term lithium hydroxide price of US$25,000 per tonne;
· Initial capital cost of GBP216 (US$300) million;
· Gross revenues of GBP49.2 (US$68.4) billion;
· Internal rate of return (IRR) of 35.6%;
· Significant potential to capture by-product value streams.
The project is the first of its kind in the UK, the biggest in Europe and will when completed be a key supplier to UK and European giga factories, electrical vehicle and battery storage industries
· Utilising state-of-the-art electrochemical processing and powered by 100% certified green energy, TVL's zero waste lithium refinery will be the largest in Europe - producing 96,000tpa of low-carbon battery-grade lithium hydroxide once in full production - equivalent to 15% of projected European demand.
TVL's processing refinery is expected to produce enough lithium hydroxide to supply 100% of the forecasted automotive demand in the UK, with a further 35% of its total production available for export to other countries in Europe and elsewhere.
Still a huge disconnect between the current 18mil mcap - 600million funding
600mil per annum from train 1
2.4bn per annum from train 2
