And with demand booming for electric vehicles and the lithium-ion batteries that power them, Chile's vast salt flats have become a vital national resource. Now, the government has released its long-awaited national lithium policy, which requires private companies to partner with the state to further develop the country's lithium resources, ushering in a new era for the industry.
