電動車電池需求帶動 全球鋰需求估年增 20%

普氏能源信息近日報導,全球最大鋰礦商智利化學礦業公司(Sociedad Quimicay Minera de Chile,SQM)執行長索爾米尼哈克(Patricio de Solminihac)表示,全球鋰需求正以創紀錄的速度增長,該公司預計今明兩年全球鋰需求都將增長20%。他指出,今年第一季的平均鋰價達到每噸 16,400 美元,正是反映了供應吃緊的影響,並預計今年上半年鋰價仍將維持高檔。
索爾米尼哈克表示,鋰需求的增長主要是被電動車市場的電池需求大增 54% 所帶動,而很顯然供應面無法趕上需求的增速,因此造成價格的飆升。該公司已經在快速提高產能,SQM 去年碳酸鋰年產能4.8 萬噸,預期今年底將達到7 萬噸,2019 年底將進一步提高至12 萬噸,為達成此一階段目標,該公司也將投資約2 億美元。
SQM 還有最後一個階段的 6 萬噸產能擴充計劃,預計將投資 2.5 億美元,將該公司的年產能從 12 萬噸再提高至 18 萬噸,這一階段的產能預計會在 2021 年初上線。 SQM 資深商業副總裁希門尼斯(Daniel Jimenez)表示,未來十年,全球鋰產業將需要 100-120 億美元的投資,才能夠滿足電動車市場爆發所帶動的需求增長。他預估,未來十年全球碳酸鋰的需求將增長 60-80 萬噸。
管理諮詢公司麥肯錫近日發布報告表示,雖然電動車的發展預期將多方面重塑市場,但其對油氣產業的衝擊可能並不如預期那樣悲觀。報告指出,雖然電動車的成長將明顯降低汽車燃油的需求,但根據該公司的計算,如果美國半數上路的車輛都替換成電動車,天然氣發電的需求也將增長20%,甚至燃煤發電的需求也都能有所增加。 (新聞來源: 科技新報)
