Recently, The 10,000-Ton Battery-Grade Lithium Carbonate Project for the Green Comprehensive Development and Utilization of Zhabuye Salt Lake — the World's Highest-Altitude Project Targeting a "Zero-Carbon Lithium Plant" — Has Been Completed and Put into Production. This Marks a New Chapter in Baowu's Efforts to Boost Tibet's High-Quality Development Through "Industrial Assistance to Tibet".
As One of the First Central Enterprises to Assist Tibet, Baowu Has Always Stood at the Height of the Party and the Country's Strategic Overall Situation to Continuously Deepen Its Tibet Assistance Work. In 2020, To Promote Tibet's High-Quality Development in Light of Local Conditions, Baowu Signed a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with the Tibet Autonomous Region, Specifying the Implementation of New Industrial Assistance Relying on Tibet's Abundant High-Quality Mineral Resources. In the Same Year, Baowu Reorganized Tibet Mineral Development Co., Ltd. And Innovatively Established a Long-Term Mechanism for Industrial Benefit Sharing in the Assisted Areas.
Located in Zhongba County, Xigaze City, At an Altitude of 4,500 Meters, The 10,000-Ton Battery-Grade Lithium Carbonate Project for the Green Comprehensive Development and Utilization of Zhabuye Salt Lake Is a Major Industrial Tibet Assistance Project Jointly Promoted by Baowu and the Tibet Autonomous Region Based on the Strategic Cooperation Agreement. Implemented by Tibet Mineral Development Co., Ltd., It Is
Supported by the Tibet Zhabuye Source-Grid-Load-Storage Integrated Comprehensive Energy Supply Project Implemented by Baowu Qingneng. The Project Adopts the Green Process of "Membrane Separation Evaporation Crystallization" And Is Equipped with the World's First Off-Grid Energy Station Integrating "Photovoltaic Solar Thermal Energy Storage", Which Can Ensure 100% Green Power Supply. Its Comprehensive Resource Utilization Rate Has Reached the International Advanced Level, Effectively Safeguarding the Green Mountains and Clear Waters of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. During the Construction Period, The Project Construction Headquarters LED the Majority of Builders to Overcome a Series of Difficulties Such as Alpine Hypoxia, Strict Ecological and Environmental Protection Requirements, And High Technical Difficulties in the Process, Successfully Completing the Project Construction.

It Is Understood That Lithium, Known as the Green Energy Metal and "White Petroleum", Is a Core Resource for the New Energy Industry. With the Global Green and Low-Carbon Transformation and the Rapid Development of New Energy Vehicles, The Strategic Status of Lithium Resources Has Become Increasingly Prominent. At Present, China's External Dependence on Lithium Resources Exceeds 70%. Tibet Autonomous Region Is Rich in Salt Lake Resources with Considerable Lithium Reserves, And Has Also Taken the Salt Lake Lithium Extraction Industry as One of the Three Pillar Industries for Strategic Resource Development. However, Restricted by Conditions Such as Climate, Environmental Protection, Technology, And Lack of Electricity, The Development of Lithium Resources in Tibet Has Been Slow. The Green Comprehensive Development Project of Zhabuye Salt Lake — the World's Third-Largest and Asia's Largest Lithium Ore Salt Lake — Has Solved the Worldwide Problem of Developing Salt Lakes with High Altitude, Alpine Environment, And High Magnesium-Lithium Ratio. It Will Help Build a Modern Industrial Demonstration System on the Plateau, Assist Tibet in Creating a Competitive Advanced Industrial Cluster Nationwide and Even Globally, Establish a High-Quality "Blood-Making" System with Self-Development Capabilities, And Set a "Baowu Model".
Zhang Jintao, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Tibet Mineral Development Co., Ltd., Stated That in the Next Step, The Company Will Accelerate the Project's Efforts to Reach Production Capacity, Meet Standards, And Achieve Efficiency. It Will Make Greater Contributions to Realizing the Independent and Controllable National Strategic Rare Resources, Improving the Self-Sufficiency Rate of National New Energy Materials, Promoting the Development of the National New Energy Vehicle and Energy Storage Industries, And Ensuring the Safety of the National New Energy Industrial Chain.
