During her stay, Yellen visited the facilities of Albemarle, a U.S. lithium producer in northern Chile, stressing that greater collaboration between Chile and the U.S. would benefit both countries, would contribute to the  <strong>energy security <\/strong>and would facilitate the achievement of key climate objectives.<\/p>\n\n<p>Today, the country has only two lithium producers: <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.albemarle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Albemarle<\/a>\n<\/strong> y <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sqm.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sqm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SQM<\/a>\n<\/strong>.
