Technip Energies is thrilled to have been selected by @LivistaEnergy to deliver the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) phase for its first #lithium refinery in Europe! 🔋
Sales of #electric cars in #Europe overtook diesel for the first time last month, with #battery-only cars making up 20%< of new sales across 18 markets. Great news for #NetZero, but more proof of ever-increasing supply chain pressures 📰@FT & @JoeMillerJr

According to @CochilcoChile, #EVs are set to make up 73% of global #lithium demand by 2030, up 32% since 2020. To meet this incredible demand and implement #NetZero strategies, more sustainable supply chains must be created 📰 @CeciliaJamasmie & @mining: https://t.co/y0Ovo5TzTB
With growing appetite for greener vehicles, @SMMT has reported that Britons bought more #EVs in 2021 than in the previous 5 years combined, with carmakers selling 190k battery #electric cars, 72k more than in 2020. Read more from @jjpjolly & @guardian 📰 https://t.co/VKUBjVYngV
(2/2) These plans bring into focus the need for local, green #battery material supplies in #Europe, and it's clear more investment is needed in the sector to meet supply demands and #sustainability goals
(1/2) 🔋The race for European #lithium supply is on as carmakers’ #EV plans ramp up. Read the full story from @alex_hamer at @IChronicle here 📰⬇️ https://t.co/75MyKbd6f3
🔌⚡️Great news to see that #Europe has passed the milestone of 1 million battery #EVs in a year for the first time, and is on track to sell nearly 500k more units of #BEVs in 2021 than in 2020. A huge boost for the #GreenTransition. Read more here: https://t.co/Ljaq8Rr0Wk
🔌🚙 @New_AutoMotive reports have shown that in November in the UK, almost 1 in 5 cars sold were fully electric. The pace is heating up for the electric revolution, with EVs currently the fastest growing market. Read more here: https://t.co/vKcpLyuw9g #greentransition#EV
(2/2) However, without a local supply of #criticalmaterials, Europe's switch to electric risks international tensions and political disputes. As part of the solution, #Livista will provide a secure supply of sustainably produced #lithium products to Europe's automotive industry
(1/2) According to @BloombergNEF, improvements in technology means that battery energy density is rising at 7% per year, this, coupled with #lithium price falling by 89%, making mass #EV adoption in #Europe completely possible
Prime Minister Boris Johnson will set out plans for a dramatic expansion of the U.K.’s electric-vehicle charging network by 2030 https://t.co/UYev5stOrT
(2/2) When it comes to primary lithium production, #Livista's refinery in central #Europe will have sustainability at its core. All of Livista's feed stock will be ethically sourced and, where possible, the greenest technologies and processes implemented #Lithium#EVs#Battery
(1/2) 🔋♻️ How can we make battery production sustainable? Alongside primary #lithium demand, which will be met by refineries such as #Livista's, battery recycling will be a critical enabler for a net zero scenario - creating the prospect of a circular #battery industry
(3/3) Livista's refinery, based in #Europe, will help localise the #EV supply chain by producing battery-grade #lithium right on the doorstep of Europe's #automotive industry. With a secure supply of critical materials, Europe will be able to support the switch to electric
(1/3) Did you know? The transport sector is responsible for 24% of direct energy-related CO₂ emissions. Today, at @COP26, leaders will be highlighting the need to switch to #ElectricVehicles, however, to make this process #sustainable, local supply chains need to be established
(2/3) With most the world's lithium hydroxide currently being shipped out of Asia, #Livista understands the importance of creating sustainable supply chains in Europe, particularly for vital materials needed for EV batteries
