Overview
Allkem has a 75% economic interest in the Toyotsu Lithium Corporation (TLC) joint venture with partner Toyota Tsusho Corporation (TTC) who retains operational control.
TTC is managing the delivery of the project and will have management responsibility once operations commence, with input from Allkem technical personnel. A technical oversight committee of Allkem and TTC personnel is in place to provide strong governance and reporting practices.
Both joint venture partners will have responsibility for strategic marketing of lithium hydroxide from the plant through a joint marketing committee arrangement. This product will be used primarily by the Japanese battery industry supporting the transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs) by global auto manufacturers.
