The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has proposed further export restrictions on some technologies used to manufacture battery components and process the metals lithium and gallium. The corresponding document was published on Thursday, 2 January, Reuters reports. The proposals are open for public comment until 1 February.
China also wants to add battery cathode technology to its list of controlled exports, according to a notice published Thursday by the Commerce Ministry soliciting public comment, on top of the proposed restrictions on technology related to producing lithium and gallium.
If approved, as is likely, the new additions are expected to form a future round of export controls imposed by China on a slew of critical materials and the technology needed to produce them, which are crucial to manufacturing semiconductors and EV batteries.
Reuters quotes Adam Webb, head of battery raw materials at consultancy Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, as saying that the proposals would help China retain its 70 per cent share of global lithium processing into battery-grade material.
China dominates the supply chain for the three metals and mines or refines between half and 90% of global supply of those minerals. In December 2023, China banned the export of technology to make rare earth magnets, adding it to an existing ban on technology to extract and separate the critical materials.
