Lithium finds wide application in nuclear fusion,power batteries and energy-storing equipment.It is the key metal for new energy and strategic emerging industries.To Understand the current conditions and trends for development and utilization of lithium resources is helpful to improve the competitiveness of the nation and enterprises in the lithium industrial area.Global lithium resources available for development and utilization is abundant but distributed unevenly.Rapid new energy industrial development stimulates lithium consumption growth and emerging lithium extraction technological progress.The deep-layer brine,such as geothermal brine and oil and gas field brine,and waste lithium batteries are likely to become the"new-type mineral resource".China is one of the main countries for middle-stream processing of lithium resource.The nation has been highly dependent on foreign raw materials for a long period of time.As foreign countries tighten control over lithium resource,China is predicted to be short of the raw material in the future.Based on the analysis of resource,market and industrial development trend,this article suggests to step up prospecting of resource and encourage oil and gas companies for"exploration of oil and lithium at the same time".The preferential policies should be formulated to support the weak links of the industrial chain and the emerging lithium extraction technology.It is also necessary to enhance technological research,such as the key technology to extract lithium from middle and deep layer brine and recovery of waste lithium batteries,formulate the recovery policies and the system of technological standards,ensure a healthy industrial development for recovery of lithium batteries,and strengthen analysis and evaluation on the whole service period of lithium development projects,thus maintaining a sustainable industrial development.
