The project’s objective was to produce 10 million tons of natural gas annually from the vast reserves of the highly lucrative Vaca Muerta shale formation to serve the rising demand from the European and Asian markets.
YPF’s Deal to Export the Energy Transition Resource — Lithium
Beyond LNG, the deal includes a strategic partnership to develop Argentina’s lithium industry.Since India is on its decarbonization path, it needs a secure supply of lithium to support the production of electric vehicles.
