LG Energy Solution secures long-term lithium carbonate supply in U.S.
LG Energy Solution said on Sept. 1 it signed a long-term lithium carbonate supply agreement with U.S. developer Smackover Lithium, a joint venture set up by Standard Lithium and Norway’s state-owned energy company Equinor. Starting in 2029, the company will receive a total of 80,000 tons over 10 years. LG Energy Solution said the deal helps it respond to rising demand, meet IRA requirements and strengthen supply chain and ESG competitiveness in North America.
