The Big Picture: Australia, Antimony & Climate Technology

Australia’s Port Pirie is fast becoming one of the anchors of the global clean energy supply chain.

The site produces around 15% of all the world's antimony – a mineral that is essential for manufacturing energy storage solutions.

For years, China, Russia and Tajikistan dominated global antimony production, accounting for more than 90% of supply.

This near-monopoly left advanced economies highly reliant on those countries, particularly when it came to the production of renewable energy technologies.
