1月9日，电池级碳酸锂价格跌破50万元大关，较11月上旬的最高点跌去了约22.83%。
据上海钢联发布的数据显示，1月9日部分锂电材料报价下跌，电池级碳酸锂下跌1万元/吨，均价报49.25万元/吨，工业级碳酸锂下跌1万元/吨，均价报46万元/吨；氢氧化锂下跌7500元/吨至9000元/吨。
业内人士认为，未来碳酸锂供需格局或仍处于紧平衡状态，碳酸锂价格下调还未结束，2023年碳酸锂价格将回归到更合理区间，这为产业中下游带来巨大的成长空间，储能、整车厂、新能源车等行业有望加速发展，产业格局将更加健康。
价格下跌激发需求
事实上，从2022年11月下旬开始，碳酸锂价格就开始呈连续下跌趋势。
“碳酸锂价格多日下跌主要是受到新能源汽车补贴退坡等需求面因素的影响，反映市场短期对终端需求减弱的担忧。”川财证券首席经济学家陈雳在接受《证券日报》记者采访时表示。
上海钢联新能源事业部锂业分析师曲音飞对《证券日报》表示，“终端减产导致场内情绪发生转变，贸易商清仓低价出货，需求回落也致使企业厂对厂交易博弈明显，下游高价采买情绪极弱，场内交易冷清，冶炼厂出货价格同步下调，加之下游中小企业也存抛货行为，场内现货资源增多，供需差拉大导致价格持续走跌。”
具体从新能源汽车产业的角度来看，碳酸锂价格的回调和供给需求的调整密不可分。盘古智库高级研究员江瀚在接受《证券日报》记者采访时表示，“目前的市场需求没有预期那么好，新能源汽车补贴的结束将对2023年一季度的整体需求有一定的削弱作用，这使得下游的车企和动力电池厂商在原材料采购上更加谨慎，从而导致市场的回调。”
不过，随着碳酸锂价格的下降，新能源汽车产业链中下游的成本不断降低，有望迎来机遇。
陈雳分析，碳酸锂价格下跌，叠加正极加工费、负极和电解液等核心材料价格下行趋势明确，意味着未来行业成本将显著下降，企业盈利边际改善，价格上有更大自主空间，有望刺激新能源车需求恢复，储能需求或将进一步爆发，锂电板块的中长期成长性较高。
江瀚认为，成本的降低会增强新能源汽车企业和动力电池企业的自身竞争力，中下游更多的产业机会开始显现，有助于整个行业更好的发展。
北京特亿阳光新能源科技有限公司总裁祁海珅同意这一判断。他认为，碳酸锂价格下跌对于新能源汽车行业的整体健康度和可持续性发展是有利的。“锂价适当的下跌有利于新兴电力系统的构建，有利于储能项目市场需求的激发。”
对价格走势判断不一
曲音飞认为，2023年碳酸锂价格主要趋势仍以看跌为主，但中间不排除有回调机会。陈雳则表示，在下游需求的支撑下，碳酸锂价格下跌幅度有限。
江瀚认为，碳酸锂价格未来还会有一定的下跌，但其维持在一个区间内盘整的可能性较大。“伴随着整体市场需求和供给的逐渐回暖，同时也包括盐湖提锂技术的不断完善，2023年的磷酸铁锂的供需不会显著失衡。”
1月6日，丰元股份在投资者互动平台公开表示，公司全资子公司山东丰元锂能科技有限公司拟在玉溪市投资建设规模为20万吨锂电池高能正极材料及配套相关项目，目前正在建设中的为一期项目：年产5万吨磷酸铁锂正极材料及1000吨黏土提锂中试线，后续项目根据一期项目建设的实际情况积极推进。
国轩高科近日表示，宜丰国轩锂业有限公司年产5万吨碳酸锂项目一期(年产2.5万吨)预计2023年4月投产。同时，与其配套的年处理300万吨瓷土矿(含锂)选矿厂同步在厂房施工，预计2023年5月投产。
华西证券预计，2月份新能源汽车产业链的生产经营将逐步恢复正常，下游需求有望好转，锂盐价格大概率逐步企稳。
中新网评：处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称，将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对，企图将核污水“一倒了之”，把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
资料图：日本福岛第一核电站。2011年，福岛核电站事故发生后，大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋，对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害，数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日，作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由，在2021年4月13日，正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多，日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称，这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全，甚至“可以喝”，这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上，经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质，核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收，长期来看，将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁，最终危害人类健康。
因此，核污水排海计划推出后，遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示，福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中，约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场，反对该计划。
日本政府认为，核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案，但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海，核污水会随着洋流流动，其影响势必会跨越国界，危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称，相关研究认为，福岛核污水如果排放入海，约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域，该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告，若日本将所有核污水排入海中，不到半年，整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁，包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国，有义务保护海洋环境。然而，在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上，日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估，但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论，并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下，日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设，这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道，日本必须正视各方合理关切，在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后，制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远，若只顾眼前，执意将核污水排放入海，不仅其自身，周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单，其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
