Angela Rayner's endorsement of the Trelavour clay pit project underscores its importance in transforming the UK's lithium supply, crucial for the country's electric vehicle ambition.
Jeremy Wrathall stated, 'This marks another stage in the UK's journey from relying on imported lithium to maximising the potential of the industrial scale of lithium that already lies beneath our feet...'
The Trelavour site will produce 25,000 tonnes of lithium per year by 2030, supporting the UK's transition to electric vehicles and reducing reliance on imports.
With rising quotas for electric vehicles—expected to reach 100% by 2035—the development of a domestic lithium supply is essential for maintaining sustainable growth in the UK automotive sector.
