40% of US lithium needs could come from unlikely source in Pennsylvania

Thanks to the increase of electric vehicles and other battery-using technologies, the demand for lithium is expected to skyrocket in the coming years. One odd but potent source of the metal is a Pennsylvania wastewater stream, says a new study.Continue… Continue reading 40% of US lithium needs could come from unlikely source in Pennsylvania

Trillions of tons of buried hydrogen: Clean energy gold rush begins

There’s enough natural hydrogen trapped underground to meet all projected demands for hundreds of years. An unpublished report by the US Geological Survey identifies it as a new primary resource, and fires the starter pistol on a new gold rush.Continue… Continue reading Trillions of tons of buried hydrogen: Clean energy gold rush begins

Aether’s nano-machines: From super-cheap lithium to brand new molecules

Nano-engineering happens all day long in our bodies, and California startup Aether is designing and testing millions of new enzymes to do a range of other useful tasks – like directly extracting battery-grade lithium from sources nobody else can use.Co… Continue reading Aether’s nano-machines: From super-cheap lithium to brand new molecules

Fast, low-cost direct lithium extraction could avert a supply crisis

Canadian company Volt Lithium has developed and pilot-tested a new low-cost lithium extraction method to pull this critical battery metal out of low-concentration brines. Now it plans to turn old oil fields into lithium production operations.Continue R… Continue reading Fast, low-cost direct lithium extraction could avert a supply crisis

Impossible Metals demonstrates its super-careful seabed mining robot

We’ve known for decades that billions of dollars’ worth of battery-relevant metals like copper, manganese, cobalt and nickel are literally sitting around on the seafloor out in the deep ocean, in giant fields of “polymetallic nodules” that look just li… Continue reading Impossible Metals demonstrates its super-careful seabed mining robot

World’s first electric lithium mine: Birth of an American supply chain

As the world rushes toward “the greatest disconnect between supply and demand in the history of commodities,” Snow Lake Lithium CEO Philip Gross talks us through his company’s plans to open the world’s first all-electric lithium mine in Canada.Continue… Continue reading World’s first electric lithium mine: Birth of an American supply chain

Lithium resource squeeze could put the brakes on decarbonization

As the EV revolution speeds up, and big battery projects ramp up to stabilize power grids running on intermittent renewables, global demand for lithium batteries will rise sixfold in the next 10 years. But can the world actually supply the materials?Co… Continue reading Lithium resource squeeze could put the brakes on decarbonization
