A seven billion peso battery manufacturing plant was recently inaugurated by President Bongbong Marcos, Jr. in New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac. The StB Giga Factory, the president said, is the country's first manufacturing plant of advanced lithium iron phosphate batteries, and considers it "a major investment in a very critical industry."
The manufacturing plant, located in the northern state of Amazonas, is dedicated to the production of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, and is primarily focused on installing these onto electric bus chassis.
BYD is also responsible for two SkyRail (monorail) projects in the country: In Salvador, with the cross-sea “VLT do Subúrbio”, and in the city of São Paulo, with the “Line 17 – Gold Line”. In 2020, BYD opened its third manufacturing plant in the country in Manaus, specifically for lithium iron phosphate batteries.
Also called LiFePO 4 battery or LFP battery, lithium iron phosphate batteries are less prone to overheating, which makes them ideal for automotive applications. They also have a long lifespan. According to Forbes, LFP batteries are widely used in China's electric vehicles, and they are now beginning to enter the North American market.
This article explores the geopolitical relations and interdependencies emerging in the lithium extraction and manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. It discusses the characteristics of the lithium-ion battery supply value chain to argue that lithium is not just a strategic resource.
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode chemistries have reached their highest share in the past decade. This trend is driven mainly by the preferences of Chinese OEMs. Around 95% of the LFP batteries for electric LDVs went into vehicles produced in China, and BYD alone represents 50% of demand.
