Albemarle Australia
Albemarle is one of the largest producers of lithium in the world and a global leader in transforming essential resources into critical ingredients for mobility, energy, connectivity and health.
Global demand for lithium underpins the world’s green energy transition and Albemarle is helping to meet this demand.
Australia remains important to Albemarle's long-term strategy.
The Kemerton Lithium Hydroxide Processing Plant has established a new advanced manufacturing industry in Western Australia’s South West.
Albemarle also holds strategic investments in lithium mining in Western Australia. These include the Wodgina Lithium Mine joint venture in the Pilbara and shareholding in the Greenbushes lithium mine in the South West.
In June 2023, Albemarle expanded its footprint in Western Australia when it acquired Western Lithium, which holds various exploration tenements in the Pilbara, Goldfields and South West region, including near Greenbushes, considered the world’s best hard-rock lithium mine.
