The top 10 European battery manufacturers continuously improve their lithium batteries while retaining their adaptability to fulfill present and future market demands. These top 10 European battery manufacturers include Saft Batteries, Northvolt, BMZ, Leclanché, Tesvolt, Acciona, Customcells, Akasol, Voltabox, Terrae Holding.
State company Y-TEC, the tech arm of YPF, will open the first lithium battery cell factory in September, in La Plata, the capital of Buenos Aires province. Another plant, five times bigger, will kick off in Santiago del Estero in 2024.
A testament to this forward-thinking approach is the imminent launch of its premier lithium battery plant. This venture, realized in partnership with the U.S.-based Livent Corp, underscores Argentina’s ambition to be a comprehensive player in the global lithium ecosystem.
In the case of lithium, Y-TEC signed a contract with American company Livent, which extracts the mineral in Catamarca and, for the first time, sold part of its production in Argentina. According to Salvarezza, for industrialization to grow in scale, part of the production ought to be sold on the local market.

These are some of the findings from a report prepared by the consulting firm Aleph Energy, led by Daniel Dreizzen, which analyzes the global lithium market while delving into Argentina in greater detail. These are the 41 companies of various characteristics that participate in the country’s 64 projects.
Amidst this global trend, Argentina is emerging as a potential leader. Experts predict that by 2027, it will surpass established producers like Chile and Australia. Argentina’s lithium reserves, concentrated in the provinces of Catamarca, Salta, and Jujuy, are part of the renowned ‘lithium triangle’.
