Lepidico Ltd. announced that it has received a carbon footprint assessment for the integrated Phase 1 Project from leading industry consultant GHD Pty Ltd. (GHD). Scope 1 and 2 emissions1 intensity associated with the Abu Dhabi Phase 1 Chemical Plant is just 7.46t CO2-e 2/t lithium hydroxide, which GHD advised as being, "low compared with other emission intensities reported or derived from lithium hydroxide production facilities." Similar emissions associated with mining and the mineral concentration plant gave an emissions intensity of 0.13 tCO2-e/t concentrate, which is, "comparable with other similar lithium mine and concentrator projects." GHD has prepared a high-level quantitative greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment for the Lepidico Phase 1 Project, an integrated alkali metal ore mining, mineral concentration, and processing project that spans across multiple countries. The assessment includes: the Karibib Operations in the operational phase; transport of the concentrates from Namibia to UAE by sea; the Abu Dhabi Chemical Plant for processing the concentrate to produce lithium hydroxide (using L-Max? and LOH-Max?) and several by-products; and transport of the final products to end-users. The GHG assessment is based on Lepidico provided data and reasonable assumptions made. The project is expected to operate for 14-years and expected to be in steady state post ramp-up from 2024 to 2034, with the source emissions activity data averaged for these 11 years.
