About half of the world’s lithium deposits are believed to be in Bolivia’s Great Lake of Uyuni. Bolivia is expected to decide in the first half of this year which companies will be awarded the development work. Japan, France, Brazil and other countries are vying to tap these mostly undeveloped reserves.
The Nikkei reports that Japan will offer technical assistance to Bolivia to develop its lithium resources and ensure a stable supply of the metal. Bolivia has the world’s largest lithium reserves.
There is a plan to establish a further joint venture to manufacture cathode material and battery systems in Bolivia and Germany. Bolivia holds 51% of the shares in the JV through YLB. The start of production of lithium as a raw material is scheduled for the second half of 2021.

Due to political instability, there is a question of US access to materials produced in Bolivia, which holds the world’s largest lithium resource and has new production projects in the pipeline, she says. Together these regions were also responsible for more than 90% of all lithium production in 2010, not including US production.
down on December 2010, mainly due to a in gas output in Bolivia cause by a scheduled shutdown of one of the gas treatment plants. Oil and natural gas volumes from countries where Petrobras operates reached 239,219 boed in January. This result was 0.4%
Additionally, there is a significant interest in developing this technology adjusted to local needs of neighboring countries in Latin America, including Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. The Cultivance Production System will be launched in Brazil from 2011/2012 season onwards.

The salt lakes in the border region between Argentina, Bolivia and Chile are home to roughly half the world’s lithium reserves. The BMW Group sources critical raw materials like lithium and cobalt directly from producers and makes them available to its battery cell suppliers.
Galaxy is also advancing plans to develop the Sal de Vida (70%) lithium and potash brine project in Argentina situated in the lithium triangle (where Chile, Argentina and Bolivia meet) which is currently the source of 60% of global lithium production.
The variation in the natural gas volume is the outcome of the decreased demand for the gas coming from Bolivia. The increase resulted from production going on stream in the Akpo field and in new fields in the Agbami field, both in Nigeria. more than the 2,204,203 boe/day produced in December 2008 and the same as the previous month.
In BNEF’s 2027 rankings, countries in South America see the biggest declines, notably Brazil and Bolivia. Bolivia was at the bottom of the rankings this year. Brazil remains a strong contender given its raw materials strength but dropped to 21 st in the 2022 rankings due to poor performance in ESG.
For example, Bolivia has 21 million tons of lithium reserves, but produced less than 1% of the world’s supply. By contrast, critical material reserves are widely distributed. Developing countries currently account for most of the global production needed for energy transitions, but their share in reserves is even greater.
Lithium is obtained from these huge deposits (the largest salar, located in Bolivia, is the size of the “Big Island” of Hawaii) simply by pumping up the shallow groundwater and letting it sit for a year or two while the sun evaporates the water. Both of these methods have serious environmental issues associated with them.
