Developing the foundations for an up-and-coming global leader in the production of high purity lithium chemicals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Lithium Chemicals Plant
Our flagship Lithium Chemicals Plant (LCP) in Yanbu Industrial City in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is being developed as a midstream hub for diversification and geopolitical alignment of supply chains for electric vehicle and battery cell manufacturers.
During its first stage (Stage 1A), the LCP will produce 25,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of battery grade Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate, followed by an additional 22,000 TPA of high purity Lithium Carbonate (Stage 1B). The LCP will contribute towards addressing expected global supply deficits while supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 industrialisation goals. The plant is being designed with the potential for future expansion to four additional processing trains (6 total), ensuring scalability and responsiveness to market demands.

Delivering into Vision 2030 and developing tomorrow’s talent
EVM’s value proposition aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, epitomizing the Kingdom’s aspirations of economic transformation and playing a lead role in the global energy transition.
We are a natural fit for Saudi Vision 2030 – our LCP offers first mover advantage and aligns with the Kingdom’s initiatives for diversification of its economic activities from oil and gas into industries of the future including clean energy and electric mobility. This opens opportunities to leverage the flourishing ecosystem being developed by key government agencies to develop Saudi Arabia’s local electric vehicle supply chain.
Not only is our LCP Project laying foundations for the industries of tomorrow, we are proudly committed to providing long-term local employment and skill development opportunities throughout construction and operation of our Project.
