Africa-Press. <\/strong> <\/span>Le Zimbabwe se pre\u0301pare a\u0300 inaugurer la premie\u0300re usine de production de sulfate de lithium sur le continent africain, une initiative perc\u0327ue comme un tournant strate\u0301gique dans la manie\u0300re dont le pays valorise ses richesses minie\u0300res et renforce sa position dans les chai\u0302nes d\u2019approvisionnement mondiales de l\u2019e\u0301nergie propre.<\/p>\n

La nouvelle usine, porte\u0301e par Prospect Lithium Zimbabwe et finance\u0301e par le groupe chinois Huayou Cobalt, a atteint la phase de mise en service des e\u0301quipements au Mine de Bikita. Le montant des investissements s\u2019e\u0301le\u0300ve a\u0300 environ 500 millions de dollars, faisant de ce projet l\u2019un des plus importants de\u0301veloppements industriels du pays ces dernie\u0300res anne\u0301es.<\/p>\n

Selon le directeur ge\u0301ne\u0301ral de l\u2019entreprise, Henry Zhou, l\u2019usine devrait de\u0301marrer sa production au premier trimestre de l\u2019anne\u0301e en cours, avec une capacite\u0301 annuelle de\u0301passant 60 000 tonnes de sulfate de lithium. Le lithium est souvent qualifie\u0301 d\u2019\u00ab or blanc \u00bb, car il constitue un e\u0301le\u0301ment cle\u0301 dans la fabrication des batteries rechargeables pour les ve\u0301hicules e\u0301lectriques et les syste\u0300mes de stockage des e\u0301nergies renouvelables.<\/p>\n

La cre\u0301ation de cette usine marque e\u0301galement le passage de l\u2019exportation de matie\u0300res premie\u0300res a\u0300 la fabrication de produits a\u0300 plus forte valeur ajoute\u0301e, offrant au Zimbabwe une meilleure exploitation de ses ressources minie\u0300res. Cet investissement renforce la position du pays en tant qu\u2019acteur majeur de la transition mondiale vers l\u2019e\u0301nergie propre et ouvre la voie a\u0300 une industrialisation accrue dans une e\u0301conomie largement de\u0301pendante des ressources naturelles.<\/p>\n

Leadership africain et pre\u0301sence chinoise<\/b><\/p>\n

Le Zimbabwe est de\u0301ja\u0300 le premier producteur de lithium en Afrique, ayant domine\u0301 la production continentale en 2024. La production devrait atteindre 160 000 tonnes d\u2019e\u0301quivalent carbonate de lithium d\u2019ici 2030. Malgre\u0301 une baisse mondiale des prix du lithium d\u2019environ 90 % depuis 2022, le pays a continue\u0301 d\u2019augmenter ses exportations, vendant plus de 586 000 tonnes de concentre\u0301 de spodume\u0300ne au premier semestre 2025, soit une hausse de 30 % par rapport a\u0300 l\u2019anne\u0301e pre\u0301ce\u0301dente.<\/p>\n

Depuis 2021, les entreprises chinoises ont investi environ 1,4 milliard de dollars dans le secteur du lithium au Zimbabwe, notamment Huayou Cobalt, Sinomine, Tsingshan, Yahua et Chengxin. Cette pre\u0301sence croissante souligne l\u2019importance strate\u0301gique du Zimbabwe pour re\u0301pondre a\u0300 la demande mondiale en minerais critiques.<\/p>\n
