Our Australian operations remain important to Albemarle's long-term strategy.
The Kemerton Lithium Plant, located within the Kemerton Strategic Industrial Area, has established a new advanced manufacturing industry in Western Australia’s South West.
Kemerton is designed to produce chemical-grade Lithium Hydroxide for use in energy storage and other industrial applications. Additionally, Kemerton produces Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous (SSA) and Delithiated Beta Spodumene (DBS)
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 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 the Greenbushes mine.
