By 2025, producing battery grade lithium hydroxide globally from brine harvesting will involve, in general, more costs than from spodumene. This is because in the first process it is necessary to produce lithium carbonate as an intermediate product, to later generate lithium hydroxide. It is expected that the difference in production costs between these two processes will amount to almost 1,000 U.S. dollars per ton of lithium carbonate equivalent.
