Russia seeks to utilize its vast lithium reserves to become a global leader in lithium production, particularly amidst increasing demand due to the electric vehicle boom. Its largest lithium mining endeavor, Polar Lithium, is affected by US sanctions, which raise concerns for collaborating countries like China. Despite holding an estimated one million tons of lithium, the country's ambitions face headwinds from geopolitical conflicts, a slowing market, and regulatory complexities surrounding mining operations, with a goal to capture 10% of the global market by 2030.
Russia's plan to develop vast lithium reserves faces major challenges due to US sanctions, slowing market conditions, and the complexities of geopolitical tensions.
The Kolmozerskoye field, considered critical for Russia's lithium production goal, has become embroiled in international political dynamics, limiting potential investors.
