6 FAQs about [Mexico storage of lithium]

What if Mexico had a stable supply of lithium?

Will Mexico be key to the development of lithium batteries?

We believe Mexico will be key to the future of the development of lithium batteries as home to the world’s largest single lithium field – “La Ventana” in Sonora. The country likely holds around 17 other deposits, across Baja California Sur, Coahuila, San Luis Potosí, Sonora and Zacatecas, that are largely undeveloped.

What should Mexico and Sonora do about lithium?

In this context, political leaders in Mexico and community leaders in Sonora should consider the following recommendations: Bring Lithium to the Public Square: A new president will be elected in June 2024. Both candidates should develop specific proposals for lithium development as part of a broader clean energy strategy and debate them.

Can lithium batteries be used for electric vehicles in Mexico?

Will Mexico's lithium reserves become a key asset?

Global clean energy investment surpassed investment for fossil fuels in 2016 and by 2023, clean energy investment exceeded that for fossil fuels by over half a trillion dollars. 1 This precipitous increase means that Mexico’s lithium reserves may become a crucial asset.

Are Mexico's lithium deposits threatening a lithium shortage?

With warnings of potential lithium shortages looming, Mexico’s lithium deposits, as well as those in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, have become prime prizes in the ever-heating competition between Washington and Beijing for economic supremacy and influence over the most powerful industries of the near future.
