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.
Four new projects will finally begin to churn out lithium in the weeks and months ahead, according to a yet-to-be released federal government time-line seen by Bloomberg News. That will almost double production capacity in Argentina, whose growth potential has long lured the attention of battery makers around the world.
BUENOS AIRES, March 20, 2024 – Rio Tinto is planning an investment of USD 350 million at the Rincon lithium project in Argentina, Reuters reported on Wednesday. The project aims to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate from raw brine, with production slated to begin later this year.
The plant will generate 15 megawatts per year, which means it will produce lithium batteries capable of powering 2500 households. The batteries are envisaged for use in rural areas. For example, there is already a Buenos Aires province-backed project to supply the Paulino-Berisso island, home to 70 families who are currently off the power grid.

Owned by Chinese corporation Ganfeng and Canada’s Lithium Americas, the company’s kickoff means Argentina now has three operational lithium fields. Exar’s project, called Cauchari-Olaroz and also located in Jujuy, delivered its first production of lithium, which is not of battery grade.
