“Chile expects to double our lithium production over the next decade“said President Gabriel Boric after the bilateral meeting he held with the German Federal Chancellor, Olaf Scholz.
This, since part of the extensive agenda that the President has in Europe consists of addressing the clean energy and investment, specifically, in lithium. In that sense, the Head of State stated that a third of the energy produced by Chile comes from clean sources: “That is why We have to improve cooperation with countries that have the same vision as usas is the example of Germany.”
“There is the intention on the part of both countries to increase our commercial exchangein particular, in an industry as promising as that of lithium,” said President Boric. In addition, he highlighted that Chile is “the second largest producer in the world, and we want to double our lithium production over the next decade, for which public-private collaboration is required.”
Thus, the President stated that: “What Chancellor Scholz has told me is that there is an active interest (…). There is potential for German investment in Chile to increase significantly“.
According to the Head of State, Germany is the fourth largest trading partner of our country and is the third most important economy in the world. “We are glad that today Chile and Germany have ties that go beyond the economic, but are also promoted, for example, in scientific cooperation, cultural exchange and student exchange“, held.
For Chancellor Olaf Scholz, The use of renewable energy is important for the protection of the environmentwhich is why both countries seek to collaborate in this area, “whether with respect to the generation of renewable energy or the exploitation of the necessary raw materials, fields in which Chile is a pioneer.”
“To achieve more environmentally friendly and sustainable lithium exploitation, We have agreed to strengthen scientific exchange between research institutes in our two countries“emphasized the German authority.
Furthermore, Scholz added that “our ideological institutes will collaborate even more closely regarding these issues, therefore, within the framework of this visit we have signed an agreement regarding this“.
It is worth remembering that on March 26 of this year, the Government presented the National Lithium Strategy, a plan that aims to increase the production of the mineral through three public-private models, and in April the process began for private parties to express its interest in exploring and exploiting lithium in the 26 salt flats that will be available for this purpose.
