Standing on the world's largest salt Beach - South America Bolivia uyuni salt marsh Laptop Battery (Salar de Uyuni) the center of your mind the first word that emerges is "empty." Everywhere you can see, there is no bush, mountains and valleys, there are only endless white.
This piece of salt in the hinterland of South America and the exotic deserted beach, it might be Mother Nature on the "open" the best word annotations. From the Inca period (2000 BC) until today, there has been rarely visited, but the changes may soon occur. Here excavation, you will find brine - infiltration of salt water, rich in the world's lightest lithium.
19th century, the invention of pneumatic tires to make rubber worth doubled; today, as the world's passion for green energy in a wave after wave, lithium may also be so expensive. Over the years, lithium has only been a small amount of land used in notebook computers and send and receive e-mail the "BlackBerry", but in the future it will be widely used in manufacture of electric car batteries.
Environmentalists, manufacturers and national governments have indicated that electric cars will replace gasoline and diesel-powered means of transport. JVC BN-V107 battery This Bolivia is good news, the country has a lithium reserves of 5.4 million tons, accounting for half of the world's reserves.
Bolivian Minister of Mines and Metallurgy Airy Cha Su Luis Alberto (Luis Alberto Echazú), said: "Lithium is very important for us and the world. We hope that next year's 1,200 tons of lithium extraction, this is only the beginning. After entering the right track, we will be production increased by 10 to 15 times more. "
Uyuni salt beach has four drilling. In addition, the edge of the beach is located in Salt JVC Camcorder Battery Village (Rio Grande) is also building a state-owned pilot plant.
But the mining work was not smooth sailing. British "Guardian" reported that the Government of Bolivia in other areas often conflict with the foreign multinational companies, and has not reached a contract. Some people think that may never be no agreement is reached, because investors need a lot of lithium extraction.
Cambridge Energy Research Associates and the consultant a former energy minister Carlos Alberto Lopez (Carlos Alberto López) said: "The Bolivian Government has often confiscated assets, tore up the contract, so foreign companies dealing with fear. Bolivia's ideology and commercial difficult to reconcile the realities of the world. For the commercial value of lithium can developed in the short term, I doubt it. "
Pessimists fear that the "double defeat" situation: the lack of motor vehicle dealers are required to the battery electric vehicles, while Bolivia, as the world's poorest countries, but also lost an opportunity to develop.
Once the camel pastoralists and trade union leaders, Bolivian President Evo Morales (Evo Morales), concerned the Western multinationals JVC Camcorder Battery will drain the wealth of uyuni salt, lithium development is a test he faces. Morales said: "The Bolivian government will not allow others to control this natural resource." But he also acknowledged the need for a foreign partner.
Government of Bolivia is working with France Bolor companies (Bollore Group), South Korea's LG Corporation, Japan's Sumitomo Group (Sumitomo) and the Mitsubishi Group (Mitsubishi) negotiations.
Government of Bolivia said it will choose one to help Bolivia's mining industry, not only for the purpose of the company. Bolivia plans after mining, processing and value-added services, such as in its domestic manufacturing lithium batteries or electricity board.
6 multi-million dollar investment in plant is the first step Sony NP-FS20 battery village. 48-year-old site command Marcello Castro (Marcelo Castro) said: "We started from scratch. This is a historic moment, we are fighting for ourselves. The developed countries can no longer plunder the resources of Bolivia, which is a new law." skeptics think he was delusional. Slow progress of the pilot plant, and not the results of the negotiations of transnational corporations, but also there was no work schedule.
British "Guardian", said Bolivia in 2006 the nationalization of the oil and gas industry led to shrinking of foreign capital, the output decline in state-owned energy company YPFB into a quagmire of corruption.
Lopez said: "Bolivia's credit doubtful. I think that investors will not put their heads smashed to go out."
"Guardian" is expected to be the arrival in 2015 of lithium shortages Bolivia prevail. Bolivian workers organizations uyuni (Uyuni) the leaders of Bari Luokeleke Sony NP-FS10 battery (Paulino Colque), said: "We used to have unpleasant experiences. Investors can come, but it must act as partners, rather than the sponsor."
