Lithium is a strategic mineral resource, is a key raw material to support the development of new energy vehicles, energy storage and other industries, known as "white oil". In order to implement the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other fourteen departments "to promote the implementation of high-quality development of lithium resources industry," to accelerate the development and utilization of lithium resources in the autonomous region, promote the high-quality development of the lithium industry, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Office of Industry and Information Technology to put forward the present views, the implementation of the period of 2024-2030.

The Office of Industry and Information Technology of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Development of Lithium Industry in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region". Clearly accelerate the exploration and development of lithium resources, improve technological innovation capacity, accelerate the construction of industrial clusters and industry chains, promote digital development, enhance the level of greening, and ensure the security of the industrial chain supply chain and other six aspects of the development of the focus of the measures.

By 2025, the initial construction of the Inner Mongolia region's lithium industry chain, lithium concentrate production capacity of 50,000 tons / year (discount lithium carbonate equivalent), 520,000 tons of lithium iron phosphate anode materials / year, 1.764 million tons of negative electrode materials / year, electrolyte 30,000 tons / year, 1.5 billion square meters of diaphragm / year, the battery 29GWh / year, lithium industry chain output value of 70 billion yuan. By 2030, the formation of a more complete lithium industry ecosystem, technology innovation capacity, industrial scale significantly expanded, intelligent green to reach the domestic advanced level, built an important national lithium industry base, lithium industry chain output value exceeded 200 billion yuan. It is reported that the total ore volume of Inner Mongolia's proven lithium resources is about 620 million tons of total ore volume, folded lithium carbonate equivalent of 7.41 million tons, accounting for about 32% of the domestic, accounting for 5.5% of the world; 2023 lithium industry chain to achieve an output value of 16.5 billion yuan.
