BMW joins sustainable lithium mining project in Chile
25 Feb 2022|874 views
BMW has joined the Responsible Lithium Partnership project, the aim of which is to reach a shared understanding of responsible management of natural resources with local interest groups and develop a vision for the future of the Salar de Atacama salt flat in Chile.
The Responsible Lithium Partnership was initiated in early 2021 by BASF, the Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Daimler Truck AG, Fairphone and the Volkswagen Group for a planned duration of three years. The project does not promote lithium sourcing or the purchase or sale of mineral raw materials.
One of the ways in which BMW is supporting the project is by sharing scientific findings on the impact of lithium mining on water resources in Chile's Salar de Atacama. Together with BASF, the BMW Group had already commissioned a study by the University of Alaska Anchorage and the University of Massachusetts Amherst into the effects of lithium mining on local water balances in Latin America in late 2020.
The aim of the study is to gain a better scientific understanding of the interdependencies between freshwater and lithium brine layers, evaluate various technologies and acquire the expertise to assess sustainable lithium mining. The study provides a scientific basis for future decisions about lithium sourcing.
