Everyone is probably familiar with the term “oil kingdoms”. Especially until the 2000s, it was frequently defined that the more oil deposits a country had, the richer it was. However, the world has changed and technologies have developed. Instead of talking about engines powered by oil and petroleum products, we are now talking about electric motors and Lithium batteries. We have compiled for you the countries with the most Lithium reserves. Here are the details…
Kingdoms of the future: Countries with the most lithium reserves!
Oil kingdoms, giant platforms and constantly mined black diamonds. Although oil, which is the infrastructure of the wealth of especially eastern countries, still maintains its importance in the world, we can say that it is starting to be abandoned. Nowadays, people prefer more environmentally friendly solutions such as electric cars and electric heating systems.
Of course, as preferences changed, the resources that countries had were also re-examined. Because we are now talking about lithium reserves rather than oil fields. Because although we are entering the age of electricity and mobility, the real problem is batteries and battery technologies.
For this reason, we have listed the richest countries in terms of Lithium reserves, which have the potential to be the kingdoms of the future:
- Bolivia : 21 million tons
- Argentina : 20 million tons
- Chile : 11 million tons
- Australia : 7.9 million tons
- China : 6.8 million tons
